Ingredient Notes:

• Black Beans: The canned black beans can be substituted for about 1 1/2 cups of cooked black beans. You can also substitute the canned black beans for any other canned beans. Just remember to drain them well.
• Corn: I used canned corn, but you can easily use frozen corn, thaw it out, and drain it.
• Onions: While I used red onion, you can easily switch that out for a sweet onion or shallots.
• Parsley: Substitute it for fresh cilantro

Using Fresh Corn In Corn and Black Bean Salsa

If fresh corn is in season, that would be a great substitute. Cut it off the corn on the cob, and toast it for 5 to 8 minutes in a skillet with a tablespoon of butter or olive oil, before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
