Are you a salsa lover? I go through phases of snacking on it repeatedly, then I won’t eat it for a long time. It’s been a while, so I recently made this crazy easy and delicious Black Bean Salsa.

Black Bean Salsa Recipe
Full of black beans, corn and tomatoes with red onions, a few jalapeños, cilantro, herbs and seasonings… this is your GO-TO salsa recipe for a hearty and healthy appetizer! I added just a little cumin, but feel free to omit it if you’re not a fan of it.
This salsa is by far one of the most filling and heartiest that I’ve ever eaten. These fresh ingredients come together in no time!
This recipe yields 6 cups of salsa which is perfect for a get-together… and I’m sure there won’t be any left. Enjoy!

December 29, 2016 at 1:56 amI just made this after having lusted after it on pinterest for weeks. I ate about half of the batch already. It’s so delicious. I didn’t have cumin so I used seasoned salt and it turned out really well. Thank you for this.

January 5, 2017 at 9:46 amI grab a bag of salad greens and a tub of this salsa in the fresh section at the grocery store for 3 or 4 weekday lunches. It’s so tasty, satisfying and filling! I really should just whip it up myself.
Amy @ The Blond Cook says

February 22, 2017 at 3:17 pmHow many people would this recipe feed as an appetizer do you think?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
February 22, 2017 at 3:41 pmHi Jackie! This recipe yields 6 cups of Black Bean Salsa. I would think 1/2 cup portions would be a good appetizer size, so probably 12 appetizer servings? It totally depends upon the appetites of your guests. Hope you enjoy! 🙂

Amy @ The Blond Cook says
July 26, 2017 at 8:18 amHi Mary, sorry for the delay in responding… have been moving the past several days. I’ve never tried canning it so I cannot say, and I don’t do a lot of canning (it’s on my list to tackle, though!). Good luck and hope you enjoy the recipe. 🙂
Kim says

Kim
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
August 7, 2017 at 9:01 amHi Kim, I’ve refrigerated it up to 24 hours before serving… but I can’t say how it would be refrigerated any longer than that. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
Dawn says
September 5, 2017 at 9:03 pmI made it and it was very delicious. I would like more black beans and less corn next time and it got a little juicy after sitting so didn’t know how it would turn out if I cut the olive oil and lime juice in half but it was still very good.
Sydney says
August 18, 2018 at 1:09 pmThis recipe looks amazing! I’d like to know if it’s something I could can, have you ever tried it? And if so, did it work? How long would you process it?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
August 19, 2018 at 9:20 amHi Sydney, Thanks so much! No, I’ve never tried to can it… actually I’ve never canned anything so I can’t give any advice on it… so sorry I couldn’t be of more help. I hope you enjoy it if you make it! 🙂
