The first thing you’ll want to do is grab a strainer. Open your can of black beans, and wash off the residue and liquid the beans are in. Do the same for the can of corn. Use a moderately ripe avocado for this recipe as it will remain firm in the salsa. An overripe avocado will mash easily when you stir all the ingredients together. Chop your avocado into small pieces, do the same with your tomato. Make sure you dice your onion into very small pieces as large pieces of onion may be unappetizing. Same goes for the green pepper and red pepper. Now that you’ve diced everything, add all of your ingredients into a large bowl. Last, sprinkle your salt and lime juice, and simply stir! My favorite way to enjoy this is with lime flavored tortilla chips! Serve right away! The lime juice may preserve the avocado for a few hours but after that it’ll start to oxidize and appear unappetizing. Enjoy!
