Roasted Corn Black Bean Avocado Salsa is a healthy and delicious dip or salsa enjoyed as a snack or served with grilled chicken or fish.

Today, Alex is making one of his favorite dips – Roasted Corn Avocado Black Bean Salsa. I’ve been making this as a healthy snack over the past year, so I’m thrilled that Alex learned how to make it himself.

This salsa is perfect as a summer appetizer, after-school snack, or on top of grilled chicken or fish. It’s full of Power Foods – black beans, avocados, and red bell pepper, and full of flavor with cilantro, cumin, coriander, and jalapeno peppers.

To see more videos my boys have been busy making, check out our Kids Cooking page.

In addition to cooking videos, Alex has a bunch of  fun videos that he’s made (all by himself) featuring his duck, Steve Jobs. They’re fun kid videos – Steve Jobs Life Cycle (Fictional Story), Steve Jobs the Duck, Steve Jobs and 1+1, The Magical Steve Jobs Commercial, and the 8 Ducks of Luck Movie Trailer. Can you tell that Alex likes ducks?

Roasted Corn, Black Bean and Avocado Salsa

The roasted corn adds a nice chewy sweetness to this salsa. This salsa would be great as a dip with corn tortilla chips, as an accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken, or just enjoyed by the spoonful! If you are not serving this salsa right away, chop up and add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.

    Really awesome job, Alex!! I wish I were that comfortable in front of a camera — I could learn from you, lol! Next time my niece is over I’m going to show her a few of these videos…she likes to cook but needs some inspiration and I think this would be perfect!
