Black Bean & Grilled Corn Salsa
Grilled corn gives this salsa a sweet, caramelized flavour while the citrus zest makes it a perfect partner for chicken.

| 1/2 cup | diced plum tomatoes (about 1 large tomato) |
| 1/4 cup | diced red onion |
| 2 tbsp | chopped fresh cilantro |
| 2 tbsp | olive oil |
