Corn and Black Bean Salsa

Pin It

I have no idea where this recipe came from (if you have any idea, let me know so I can give credit where credit is due!). I simply copied and pasted the recipe into an email one day and sent it to myself. It's similar to the cowboy caviar I recently posted, but with a balsamic based dressing. I brought this to a picnic with tortilla chips, but I think it'd also be excellent over some spinach or romaine, or even as a burrito filling. I love easy appetizers, especially when they can be made ahead of time. This one fits the bill on both accounts!

1. In a small bowl, mix together balsamic, oil, salt, sugar, pepper, cumin, and chile powder.
