Can you believe it’s almost summertime already? In case you haven’t gotten the memo, we love bold and colorful dishes - especially when it’s hot outside! Since we like a good salsa every now and then, we decided to try a recipe that’s perfect for summertime gatherings - even if it’s just a party of one. A corn and bean salsa is a great way to combine spicy and tart flavors. The corn also adds a slight bit of sweetness that has you dreaming of a summertime melody. It’s a fresh alternative to that summertime salad, and has the advantage of being vegetarian/vegan.
