I don't usually go for the quick, brand-name recipes, but this is OH SO YUMMY. A coworker brought it one day, I begged the recipe out of her, and when I recreated it at home, I almost ate the entire batch before we even got to the marinating stage.
A few things to note:
- I usually dislike corn in my salsa. If you dislike corn in your salsa, fear not: this stuff is delicious.
- The recipe is completely MILD. If you want kick, you can add some diced fresh jalapenos/chilies or some ground cayenne pepper.
- This takes only a few minutes to make and is awesome even before it marinates overnight. Great for unexpected company or a quick side for a party.
- This recipe calls for Italian dressing, but does not taste Italian in the final product.
Ingredients:
1 can of corn
1 can black beans (can add more to taste)
1 can Mexican-style diced tomatoes. I used, and LOVED, the Rotel brand.
1/2 chopped red onion
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 package of Good Seasons Italian dressing, made per package directions. I used Italian wine vinegar and part olive oil, part vegetable oil.
Dump the above ingredients together and marinate overnight. That is, if you can resist the smell for that long.
Enjoy with corn chips.
In fact, I am going to do that right now.
