Corn Salsa

It is finally football season- which means football parties.  What is not to love about getting together with family and friends, chowing on some good munchies, and cheering on your favorite team?  Our family is a cheesehead family- which means we LOVE the Packers.  We love gathering around the TV, screaming loudly, and eating non-stop.  I mean, when watching a football game it is almost required to eat and eat and eat, right?   Too bad overeating all those delicious appetizers can be a very dangerous thing... until now! Have no fears because this corn salsa is the perfect game day snack and is so easy to make.  It is super addicting but that's okay because it is SO healthy! :)  Plus you get your daily intake (or more ;) ) of vegetables!  So go throw a football party, eat without worry, and enjoy! GO PACKERS!! 
(It may not be the prettiest- but we swear by this delicious snack! )
Ingredients:
1 bag frozen corn kernels, defrosted
1 red pepper, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1-8 oz. can of low sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
2 avocados
1 tsp hot sauce
2 tsp cumin
1 lime, juiced
kosher salt
freshly ground pepper

Directions:
In a large bowl chop combine all of the ingredients.  Make sure the vegetables are all the same size when chopping- chop them small like the size of a corn kernel.  Taste as you go- if you want more spice, add more hot sauce.  If you do not want that much cumin, take some out!  BYOC- Be Your Own Chef!  That is why we love cooking- its your kitchen, do what you want! 

ENJOY!
