Black Bean Salsa

Here is a great recipe to get some more fiber into your diet. I tend to think that beans are a great ingredient for salsa that adds a nice flavor dimension.

Since you either love or hate cilantro - you will notice that this recipe offers parsely as an alternative to cilantro.

This salsa can be served by itself with chips, over a protein or incorporate into rice or orzo for a quick dinner side. This recipe can be made up to three days ahead.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plum tomatoes
• 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed
• 2 tbsp scallions - chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley - chopped
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 1/2 tsp olive oil
• 1/2-1 tsp canned chipotle in adobo sauce - minced
• 1/8 tsp salt

Process:

1. Seed and dice the tomatoes
   
   
2. Combine all ingredients in bowl and stir to blend
   
   
3. Refrigerate until ready to serve
