I love this salsa!
Hey girl, your salsa looks so good… I’m so happy you like me, you really like me. I am already a follower of you and your sister’s blog. I wish I lived closer to Utah so we could all get together and create. Thanks for the love.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Doing a Mexican bridal shower and needed colorful dishes. This will be perfect! Thanks
I just made it this past weekend!! I tweaked a few things (aka forgot some ingredients) and everyone loved it!
I just posted about it here:

I have a recipe that is almost the exact same, and I love to eat it on top of carne asada tacos. Amazing!
I love black beans they are so nutritious and full of fiber. I have recently increased my fiber intake and lost 36 pounds. And I have added in so many recipes with black beans because of their high fiber intake. Fiber is so important to your diet especially when you are trying to lose weight. I plan out my meals and track my calorie intake which helps me stay on track.
I make a salsa almost just like this. However, mine doesn’t have avacado or lime juice in it. It has feta cheese in it and it’s all mixed up with a packet Good Seasons Italian dressing prepared. It gets rave reviews every time!

I found this recipe on the RoTel can and love it. It is delicious as a side dish, too, and great for my lunch with WAY BETTER (brand name) multi grain tortilla chips. Talk about getting your fiber in for the day, this definitely does it!
No matter how many times I make this and it is at least once a summer. It always taste wonderful. Absolutely love it and so does our family.
Do you think this would taste as good without the onion? I’m allergic.😞
It looks delicious!
It won’t taste the same, but it will still be delicious!
The tip about making this 24 hours ahead is genuinely the move — the lime juice and cumin have time to marry into something that tastes way more intentional than a 10-minute throw-together (even though it technically is one, which I love). I’ve been leaning on black beans in exactly this kind of dish lately, partly because according to the USDA, a single cup delivers around 15 grams of fiber, which is more than half the daily recommended intake — so a bowl of this with chips is doing a lot more quiet nutritional work than it gets credit for. I also second the avocado addition from your optional ingredients list, though I’ve learned the hard way to stir it in right before serving unless you enjoy guacamole-adjacent sadness. Have you ever tried charring the corn in a dry skillet before mixing everything together — curious whether anyone here has found that the smoky note is worth the extra five minutes?
