Corn Black Bean Avocado Salsa

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.
