Jen's Black Bean Salsa




Last night was another chicken night and I wanted to serve something with it that we haven't had before using items I had on hand. Voila! I came up with this. I baked chicken seasoned with a Creole seasoning, jasmine rice as a side, and put this on top of it all. It was great! I have found that I really love black beans, cilantro, and lime juice together, so I try it all different kinds of combination. This is also great with a burrito or fajita wrap.


Servings: 5 (1/2C servings)
Calories: 90 per 1/2 Cup


Ingredients:

8oz fresh tomatoes (about 2 med sized ones), chopped
1 15.25oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 C red pepper, bell or sweet, chopped
1/4 C onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 1/2 T lime juice
1/2 T cilantro, dried
salt and pepper to taste

I dislike big chunks of onion and pepper so I used my Pampered Chef Food Chopper to make sure they were very small pieces.

Combine everything in a bowl, chill for 30-45 minutes, so the flavors can blend, and serve.

This could be served with chips, chicken, or rice.
