This is a delightful combination salsa–a wonderful addition to your Mexican fare. We love any dish with black beans in it!
1 ½ tsp. cumin seeds
2 – 15 oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 – 15 ¼ oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
1 red pepper, minced
1 small purple onion, minced (1 c.)
½ c. chopped fresh cilantro
½ c. chopped fresh parsley
1/3 c. lime juice
¼ c. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
½ t. salt
1 t. dried crushed red pepper
½ t. freshly ground black pepper
Toast cumin seeds in a skillet over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes or until brown and fragrant, stirring often. Combine cumin seeds, black beans, and remaining ingredients; toss well. Fix this ahead of time (2-3 hours) to allow the flavors to meld. Cover and store in refrigerator up to 1 week. Yield 6 cups.
