Tomato, Corn and black bean salsa

Tomato, Corn and black bean salsa

Salsas are a delicious blend of veggies and herbs, typically, and go far beyond the limited roll of zesty dip for chips. Salsas are a fresh, healthy condiment that can top chicken, tacos, fish dishes and more. Most salsas have a tomato or tomatillo component and build from there. Chutneys are also condiment sauces, often featured in Indian cuisine, that are based on fruits with additional ingredients.
