Need a quick, fresh, and healthy appetizer for a late summer get-together? This yummy Chunky Salsa with Roasted Corn, Avocado and Tomatoes is definitely a winner!
Our local farmers market has been overflowing with ripe tomatoes and fresh corn on the cob, resulting in an abundance of them in my wonderful CSA (community supported agriculture). In an effort to use up all my tomatoes before they went bad, I chopped up several, shaved the corn off the cob, threw in some avocado and beans with a little lemon juice and salsa and called it lunch for Josh.
He ate it with tortilla chips and said it was great! That’s sorta his standard reply when I ask him what he thinks of my latest food creation. I’m constantly trying to get him to tell me what he would change or do different next time. Rarely does he give me anything, instead he picks the if-he-knows-what’s-good-for-him supportive route and tells me he wouldn’t change a thing.
Anyways, when trying to decide what to take in addition a dessert to our family get-together for my brother-in-law’s birthday, I decided to recreate Josh’s lunch with a few modifications and serve it as a dip for us to munch on while we visited and finished prepping dinner. The sweetness of the corn, tomatoes and baked beans are so tasty when paired with the saltiness of tortilla tips. I will say, beware, this snack feels so clean and healthy, that it was easy to just eat and eat. But I guess there are a lot worse things to munch on uncontrollably seeing as the beans, avocado and fresh veggies pack a lot of nutrition into this finger-food snack.
Aside from its beautiful color and great flavor, it literally came together in minutes and stored great in the fringe for left-overs.
Health and nutrition have always been important to me, but over the past several years, my knowledge and interest in food and how it affects our body has really expanded. So, with my love for cooking, organic produce, and whole foods, with my food blog Lemons and Basil, I hope to inspire you in your cooking adventures and journey of good health, the way so many other food blogs have inspired me!
