Black Bean and Corn Salsa

1 1/4 C THRIVE black beans, rinsed and cooked
1 !/4 C THRIVE pinto beans, rinsed and cooked
3/4 C THRIVE sweet corn
1 (4oz) can chopped green chiles, undrained
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 C cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/2 C red wine vinegar
1/2 C vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

In a small bowl, ass corn and cover with warm water.  Let sit 5-10 minutes or until corn is softened and re-hydrated.  Drain

Mix the beans, corn, green chiles, onion, and cilantro together in a large bowl.

Stir the vinegar and oil together in a bowl.  Pour dressing over bean mixture and toss to mix evenly.


I actually used the THRIVE instant black beans and the THRIVE instant red beans in this recipe and it turned out great.  It wasn't pretty, but it sure was yummy.  I also added half an avocado to the salsa and it was DELICIOUS!

Enjoy
