Black Bean and Corn Salsa
Corn and Black Bean Salsa takes your typical salsa-and-chips appetizer to the next level.

Perfect for picnics, backyard barbecues, or even school lunches!

Notes
If fresh corn is in season, that would be a delicious substitute— just cut it off the cob and toast it for 5 minutes in a skillet with a tablespoon of butter or olive oil before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
If you prefer cilantro, feel free to substitute the parsley out!
