Avocado Black Bean Corn Salsa

Avocado Black Bean Corn Salsa

Football season means lots of get togethers with heaps of food, more often than not, loaded with cheese, meat, and processed products.  I’ve been mostly dairy-free and vegetarian for almost four years now, so I’m usually out of luck at a tailgate unless I bring my own food.  Most of the time I make my guacamole, but this week I want something just a little different.  It is the same flavors, minus the tomato, plus black beans and corn. . .ABC Salsa — Avocado, Black Bean, and Corn.

Just chop and throw it all together!  Ten minutes and out the door you go with this healthy, filling, and colorful dip.  This will make entertaining easy!  I recommend making extras to use later.  I scooped out a little to throw on the bed of spinach for a quick lunch — YUM!  It would also make a great filling for wrap, or a topping on a quesadilla.  You’ll find plenty of ways to use this one.

Hi Melissa, I can’t promise it would help but I have a feeling you would find it does. I used to have horrible allergy and sinus problems (shots for 5 years, and always sick in spring and fall) but since going mostly dairy a couple years ago I have little to no problems with seasonal allergies and sinus infections!! It’s been a dramatic difference for me!
I hope it helps you! Have a great day.

You can also serve with cucumber slices, homemade baked tortilla chips, stuffed into a tomato, and I even eat it with a spoon! :)
