Ingredients
- Black beans - Canned black beans (drained) work just fine.
- Corn - I keep frozen corn on hand ALWAYS just for this dip!
- Green bell pepper - Fresh, medium-sized
- Tomato - Roma tomatoes work best in this dip
- Green onion - Did you know you can grow these in your kitchen? Stick the leftovers in a mason jar with a little water next to your kitchen window.
- Lime - I only recommend fresh limes for this recipe.
- Cilantro - Fresh cilantro is best!
- Avocado - I prefer the Haas variety. Make sure it is ripe (soft to the touch and dark brown in color)
- Salt
- Pepper
Note: Refer to the recipe card below for exact quantities.
Instructions
Step One: Rinse and Drain
Open both cans of beans and measure out 1 ½ cups of frozen corn. Rinse beans and corn in a colander, then set them aside to drain.
Step Two: Prepare Vegetables
Wash all produce. Dice tomatoes, green bell pepper, green onion, and cilantro and add them to a bowl. Squeeze lime juice on top and add salt and pepper.
Step Three: Mix and Chill
Add beans and corn to the mix and give it a good stir. Add extra virgin olive oil and stir again. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better).
Step Four: Serve
To serve, scoop out a generous portion and add freshly sliced avocado. This dip is best served with tortilla chips.

FAQ
Roma tomatoes are not as juicy. They are firm in texture and will add fresh tomato flavor without diluting your dip.
Refrigerating tomatoes will extend their shelf life, but could also decrease their flavor or change their texture. If you don't want your tomatoes to go bad, wait until they are fully ripe, refrigerate for a few days, then bring them back to room temperature before slicing.
Believe it or not - yes, but only to some people. The issue comes down to genetics. If this is true for you, try cooking it before eating it. You could also try mincing it or mashing it in a mortar and pestle to release some of the soapy enzymes.
