And as I mentioned earlier, the Black History Month Potluck is back again this year and I’ve teamed up with some of the BEST foodies in the Black Bloggers Food Group to bring you some AMAZING recipes! Don’t worry, I will definitely be sharing that that list with you a little bit later!

My contribution to this year’s BHM Potluck was this Spicy Okra & Corn Salsa! The combination of okra and corn takes me back to my childhood. Being from the South, my mom would literally put okra in everything and it would always taste so good!

This recipe was super easy to make and only required one pan. When making this Spicy Okra & Corn Salsa, I recommend adding the okra towards the very end of the cooking process to prevent the okra from becoming too slimy!

This Spicy Okra & Corn Salsa is definitely a nontraditional salsa recipe, but the combination of the lime juice and cilantro give it some characteristic salsa flavor. This recipe is so hearty and flavorful, and can be served over grilled chicken or with your favorite tortilla or pita chips! Enjoy!
