Black beans, corn, and onions...all combined with sweet and red onions is a simple but tasty solution for your summer salsa or in my case, lunch. Kevin and I were taking about what to make last night and he suggested this combination because it's his father's staple. We decided instead to make a GIANT batch for the week. We're going to combine it with a whole wheat tortilla and cilantro and jalapeno hummus for a vegetarian meal.
Corn is a great because it's contains Vitamins B1, B5 and C. It also promotes new cell generation which is always a great thing when you're living. Black beans seem to literally help every part of your body. Studies have shown it helps regulate your blood sugar and your digestive tract.
