Ingredients

  • 1 ear Sweet Corn on the Cob, peeled and cleaned

  • 1x14 oz tin Black Beans, strained and rinsed 

  • 1/2 Red Onion, diced small 

  • 12 Cherry Tomatoes, cut in half 

  • 1/2 Jalapeño, seeds removed and diced small 

  • 1 Lime, juiced 

  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin 

  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, chopped 

  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt 

  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Black Peppercorns 

  • 1 Avocado, diced 

Instructions

Fill a medium-sized pot with water and place it onto the stovetop on high heat. 

Once the water comes to a boil, add the corn into the water and boil for 3 minutes. 

Remove the corn from the water using a pair of kitchen tongs, and place it onto a cutting board to rest until the corn is cool enough to handle.  

Once the corn is cooled off, use a chef's knife to cut the corn off the cob, and place the kernels into a mixing bowl. 

Add the remaining salsa ingredients to the bowl containing the corn. 

Use a large spoon to mix everything together, and place the salsa into an airtight container to chill until ready to serve.
