Black Bean Salsa

I have to admit that I've published this recipe before... but I did it way back when I didn't really know where I was going with this blog or what would be the best way to organize these recipes. The old recipe is buried in a post with several recipes and there isn't a picture included. Since I make this recipe so often and it's requested all the time, I decided to update the entry.


This recipe takes no time at all to put together and it tastes even better if you make it in advance.

Black Bean Salsa

1 can black beans
2 cans Ro-tel tomatoes
1 each red and green bell peppers, diced
1 red onion, diced
1 can white shoepeg corn
1 cup Italian dressing (I use fat-free)

Rinse and drain the beans and corn and add to a bowl. Add tomatoes, with juice to the mixture. Add diced bell peppers and corn and stir together. Pour 1/2 the dressing over the mixture and stir to combine. Add remaining dressing as desired. Perfect with tortilla chips. This is also great as a relish for quesadillas or tacos.
