Fresh Sweet Corn Salsa
Sweet fresh corn, crisp bell peppers, juicy tomatoes, soft black beans, and avocado topped with tangy lime Italian dressing…. um, is your mouth watering yet? This corn salsa is lucky if it survives one night at our home. It’s perfect with tacos, burritos, tortilla chips, or even topped on a salad.
The natural flavors of the vegetables are almost enough. By adding lime and Italian dressing, it just pushes this salsa over the super, crazy delicious edge. Just make sure you’re using dried Italian dressing and not Italian seasoning. Big difference.
Okay, I can’t hold off eating more of this sweet corn salsa any longer. It’s just in my fridge calling my name. I’m probably going to have it with my most favorite chips, FSTG Multigrain chips. Have you had them? They’re gluten-free and made from all natural ingredients. SO amazingly tasty! They have a million different flavors of chips like sweet potato, blue corn, and even jalapeno. Alright friends, start making your own salsa as I go devour the remaining of mine in the fridge.
