Two words for this lightened-up salsa recipe: simple and delicious! I hope you love my recipe for Black Bean and Corn Salsa as much as I do! This recipe can be thrown together in 5 minutes and is the perfect addition to any Mexican dinner, or can easily stand on its own for a fast appetizer. It's a great salsa to accompany grilled chicken, to top tacos with, use as a pizza or flatbread topping, or to eat on its own with your favorite low-sodium tortilla chips. Try it on top of my Skinny BBQ Chicken Flatbread! The best part about this recipe? Chances are you already have all the ingredients in your pantry.

Pro tips:

• Fresh lime juice is the best tasting for this recipe, but using lime juice from the bottle will work, too.
• Feel free to store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days (counting the day you made it).
• The longer this sits, the more the flavors will meld together for a delicious salsa! It's best to make it a few hours ahead of when you need it so it is the most flavorful.
