This Southwestern Black Bean and Corn Salsa is chunky, full of fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor! Black beans, sweet corn, avocado, and red onion are just a few flavors in this delicious party dip and appetizer. 

I love a quick to make salsa, and this Black Bean, Avocado and Corn Salsa does not disappoint! Best of all, you can make this recipe quickly. Reminds me a little of this Mexican Black Bean and Corn Salad. 

Of course, it only gets better as it sits so all the flavors can blend and get to know each other. Always add the avocado before serving. They tend to turn a little brown if left out. I do notice they do better if I drizzle lime juice over them.

It’s great to serve year-round, it’s easy to transport to a potluck or BBQ and it makes a great football game day appetizer for any Super Bowl parties you may be throwing.

I normally don’t like corn mixed in foods, but I must be growing up because I can’t live without the corn salsa from Trader Joe’s I use in this easy appetizer with brie cheese and crackers.
