The best recipes come from friends (family is included in that statement). The ones you've tried and decided you can't live without. I'm no longer shy about requesting recipes. If I'm served a dish I love, I want to be able to have it again, and again! I figure its the greatest compliment you can give (and get).
This recipe came from my friend Brittany and she has graciously permitted me to share it with you. It's a simple and scrumptious black bean salsa. It makes the perfect party appetizer or Mexican side dish. Try it on top of grilled fish, in your taco, or straight outta the bowl. It's even good without the chips!
INGREDIENTS
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of corn, drained
1 1/2 avocados, chopped
2 large tomatoes, diced (I used a pint of cherry tomatoes)
1/2 red onion, diced
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
2 limes, juiced
jalapeno pepper, minced, to taste
fresh garlic, minced or garlic powder, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS
1. Combine beans, corn, avocado, tomatoes, and onion in a large bowl. Toss with lemon juice and cilantro. Season to taste with jalapeno, garlic, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for several hours before serving.
Makes a large bowlful.
