Black Bean, Corn, and Tomato Relish image

This relish (otherwise known as a salsa) has its roots all over Latin America and the Caribbean. Use freshly roasted sweet corn for best results, but canned or frozen corn can be used during those times when fresh corn is unavailable.

2 scallions, finely chopped
3 Tbsp olive oil
