    Tips for making the best homemade black beans salsa.

    Canned black beans have already been cooked and are ready to eat, which is why they work for this recipe. Just make sure that you have drained all of the juice from can, rinsed your beans, and have allowed the water to drain before adding them to this recipe.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. Canned corn works great in this recipe as well. I like to rinse and drain my corn before adding it. While frozen corn can be used, it should be allowed to thaw first as you probably do not want to add the water from the ice to your salsa.
    2. This salsa really tastes best when it is refrigerated and the ingredient flavors are allowed to meld together. Refrigerating your salsa also makes this recipe a perfect 'make ahead of time' kind of dish.
    3. Optional add-in ingredients that could work in this recipe include chopped avocado (use firm avocado), chopped peppers (hot or bell), or chopped celery for a bit of crunch.
