This Black Bean Avocado Salsa is your go-to recipe for summer gatherings, game day snacks, or a vibrant side dish. Packed with creamy avocado, hearty black beans, sweet corn, and zesty lime, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s ready in just 10 minutes.
Now that we are having people over more often, I love having quick and easy no-cook appetizer recipes at the ready for hosting last-minute guests. This fresh and flavorful black bean salsa is made with creamy avocado, sweet corn, onions, and jalapeño. To balance out the flavors, I like to use a combination of lime juice and Nature’s Intent Organic Apple Cider Vinegar to provide just the right amount of acidity.

Substitutions

Cumin is added for a bit of a Mexican flare, along with a hearty handful of minced cilantro, but you can leave either out if you’re not a fan. This appetizer is extremely versatile and easy to play around with if you’re not on team cilantro.
