User post: July 4th: Black bean salsa

user

Just in time for July 4th!  This tasty salsa goes great with barbecue, and will hold off the hunger pains as guests wait for their hot dogs and hamburgers.  This salsa is filling and will satisfy even the most discerning taste buds.  It is loaded with fiber and protein. Serve it with baked tortilla chips or pita chips for a low-fat option.



Ingredients:
  • 1 15 oz. can black beans
  • 1 ripe tomato
  • 1/2 avocado diced
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup minced red onion
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 Tbsp. minced fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin 
  • Pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Tabasco sauce
Put the black beans in a strainer and rinse them thoroughly. Shake them to get rid of excess water. Place them in a mixing bowl. Core and seed the tomatoes. Finely chop the tomatoes and add to the bowl with the beans. Stir in the celery, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, vinegar, oil and cumin. Season to taste with salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce. Salsa can be stored for up to 1 day.

Makes about 3 1/2 cups or about 8 servings.
