I swear I planned on making homemade salsa for dinner tonight (with chips and tacos) long before Madonna decided to show off her salsa moves to the NFL pressroom the other day.

Show off…

While her motivation may have been to grab another opportunity to show off her perfectly sculpted arms, mine was simply to have dinner ready well in advance of serving it. Another busy day. Another multi-seating meal.

Who’s the show off now…?

This recipe is from my pal Julie G. Where she got it, I don’t know. But one thing’s for sure – you won’t see me flaunting my avocado-pitting technique on YouTube.

Julie’s Super Salsa
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 
1 can corn, drained 
2 large tomatoes, chopped (or one can diced tomatoes, drained)
2 large avocados, chopped 
1/2 medium red onion, chopped 
1 jalepeno pepper, seeded and chopped 
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 
3-4 tblsp lime juice 
3 tblsp olive oil 
1 tblsp red wine vinegar 
Mix all ingredients together and serve immediately with a “scoop” type of tortilla chip.
