Black Bean Corn Salsa

Black beans get a refreshing makeover with the addition of lime and cilantro. Summer corn adds its quintessential sweetness, but its avocado’s nutty flavor and creamy mouth feel that turns this simply salsa into a luxurious spread. This recipe comes to us from Shirley Laboy of The Food on Our Table.
