Black bean and corn relish

Dietition's Tip

For a spicier relish, substitute cilantro for the parsley — or add chili powder according to your taste.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed to room temperature
  • 4 tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 3 cups)
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 medium red onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 green, yellow or red bell pepper, seeded and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • Juice from 1 lemon

Directions

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Toss gently to mix. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
