INSTRUCTIONS
Add all of the ingredients, except cilantro, to a large bowl and stir to combine. You can serve this right away at room temperature, but I prefer to serve it chilled. The ingredients marinate together longer in the fridge and gives this dip even more flavor the next day. Cover it with plastic wrap or foil and chill in the fridge overnight (or even a couple hours works).
Serve with more fresh cilantro and your favorite tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
Note 1. Corn. You can also use 1 can of corn (drained) or frozen and thawed corn.Note 2. Vinegar. You can use any type of acid to balance out this recipe. Lime juice is a great acid with a ton of Mexican flavors.Black Bean Corn Feta Dip. You can add 4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese to the mixture to make a simple feta dip.
