A vibrant and fresh dip combining black beans, corn, and fresh veggies with a tangy lime dressing, perfect for parties or casual snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) whole kernel corn, drained (fresh or frozen corn works well too)
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1/2 cup (15 g) fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1–2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and drain black beans and corn in a fine mesh strainer. Rinse black beans under cold water to reduce canned saltiness and drain well.
  2. Quarter cherry tomatoes, finely dice red bell pepper and red onion, mince jalapeño (remove seeds for milder heat), and chop cilantro. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, combine fresh lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, honey (or agave), salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake vigorously until emulsified.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, add rinsed beans and corn. Layer in chopped vegetables and cilantro. Pour dressing over the top.
  5. Gently toss everything together with a large spoon or spatula to coat ingredients with dressing while keeping beans intact. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
  6. Optional: Chill dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Drain any excess liquid before serving.

Notes

Rinse beans to reduce canned taste. Adjust jalapeño seeds for heat preference. Chill dip for better flavor melding. Drain excess liquid after chilling to avoid watery dip. Reserve some veggies for chunkier texture if desired. Substitute honey with agave or maple syrup for vegan version. Can add diced avocado just before serving for creaminess.
