Black Bean and Corn Salsa

2 - 16 oz. bags of frozen corn, I used mixed white and yellow, it is also recommended to use all white corn
1 can black beans, I used black beans and jalapenos in lime juice and picked out the jalapenos. You can also use black beans with cumin and chile spices.
1/2 c. lime juice
1/2 c. honey
1 t. minced garlic, I just used 1 clove, pressed
1/2 t. cumin
1 1/2 t. rice vinegar
1 t. salt
1 t. dried cilantro, this has a more mild flavor than fresh
1 t. tobasco sauce
Thaw corn, do not cook it though. Rinse beans and stir the beans and corn together in a large bowl. In another bowl mix up the sauce, make sure the honey and salt dissolve into the mixture before you mix it with the corn and beans. Slowly add the sauce to the corn and beans, stirring gently, making sure not to break up the beans. Serve with Tostitos Multigrain chips. Enjoy!!

When I made this I was having a major craving for it so I doubled the sauce recipe and added an extra bag of corn and an extra can of beans. I think having extra sauce was good, and make sure that if you leave it sit for a bit before serving, that give it a good stir before you dig in, this will redistribute the sauce.

Corn, I thawed it in the microwave until just barely thawed

Rinsing beans, I picked out the jalapenos, if you want more kick, go ahead and leave them in

corn and beans in a large bowl

Ingredients, here is a tip, the small bottles of lime juice are 1/2 c.

Oops, forgot the cilantro

And also the cumin
