Fresh Corn and Butter Bean Salsa

corn-and-bean-salsa

This corn and bean salsa is a great vegetarian side dish! The fresh sweetcorn, along with plenty of coriander, lime juice and garlic make it a fresh and flavoursome addition to any meal.

It is equally as good enjoyed as a meal on it’s own.

Notes

– Chilli in this dish is purely optional, it is delicious with or without.
– A diced tomato goes nicely mixed through this salsa.
