BBQ Black Bean Salsa

BBQ Black Bean Salsa (slightly adapted from Kraft Foods, 24 servings – 2 T servings, Total Time: 15 minutes)

Ingredients

·         1 can  (15 oz.) black beans, drained, rinsed

·         4 ears of corn on the cobb, husked and de-silked

·         ½ cup  Barbecue Sauce

·         ¾ cup  Medium Salsa

Directions

1.      Put corn in a large pot of water.  Bring to boil and cook for 4-5 minutes.

2.      Let cooked corn cool, then cut kernels off cobb.

3.      Mix all ingredients until well blended. Serve with tortilla chips.

A hit at a picnic that I went to recently.  A great low calorie, no fat option (at least without the chips!).  I have made it before with canned and frozen corn, but nothing tastes better than fresh corn.  A great mix of healthy ingredients that mix together to make a tasty, slightly spicy dish.  You can play around with the BBQ to salsa to chili powder ratio to meet your personal tastes.  If you do want to kick things up a notch, I suggest Hot Salsa or cayenne pepper.
