Summary
A no-cook, make-ahead black bean and corn salsa/salad meant to chill for hours before serving with corn chips — a good pull for a party-appetizer request that needs zero stove time.
Ingredients
- 2 (15 oz) cans black beans, drained
- 1 (15 oz) can diced Mexican-style tomatoes, drained
- 1 (11 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (7 oz) can chopped green chilies, drained
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp Tabasco sauce
Method
- Combine black beans, tomatoes, corn, green chilies, cilantro, and green onions in a large bowl. (The card carries fraction marks — "1/3" and "2/3" — next to the green onions that appear to split the onions between two mixing steps; the exact split is not clear from the handwriting and is transcribed as-is, not resolved.)
- Add the salsa, lime juice, vinegar, oil, and Tabasco sauce; toss to mix.
- Chill covered for 3 to 10 hours.
- Serve with corn chips.
Notes on the artifact
