bek s black bean salsa pico de gallo

Desciption

i love this with pork chops and yellow rice, as an alternative to plain black beans. it's also a great colorful dip to put out for parties with tortilla chips or pita chips. this can be served warm or cold, we like it both ways. this recipe started with leftovers from recipe #289407, then adding the black beans, corn, and red bell pepper and some additional spices. i've written this to be made from scratch, but it might help to glance through that recipe first. i also included some variations i've tried at the bottom of the directions - as always, let me know how you change it up.

Steps

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
Preferably an hour to marry the flavors
"the frozen corn should be thawed by the time youre ready to serve"
"if youre serving immediately
Make sure your corn is thawed before adding to the recipe !"
Variations:
Try roasted red bell pepper instead of fresh for a great
Smoky taste
Use different colored bell peppers for a more festive look
Add 1 / 4 cup diced red onion
Add diced jalepenos or habaneros to kick it up
Let me know any other variations you try !
