black bean salsa

This week was another big week for Fresh Fork (*).  We got Tex-Mex themed food this week, hence the corn chips the other day.

I decided to make some fresh salsa with some of the beautiful produce this week.  This is a simple recipe, but it's surprisingly reminiscent of a Chipotle burrito.  (Yum!!)  Make this and you'll be the hit of the (healthy) party.



We had this salsa in tacos tonight.  It would also be great with chips, on a burger or to top a salad.  This is what summer should taste like.

Makes about 6 cups

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (dried) black beans, prepared according to package instructions*
• 3 garlic scapes, diced*
• 1 can sweet corn or kernels from one ear of corn
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 tomatoes, diced (with seeds and as much liquid as possible removed)*
• 1/2 bunch of cilantro, diced*
• 1 small can green chiles (I used mild, but spicy would be good too)
• 1 tbsp lime juice

Combine all of the ingredients.  Add salt and pepper, to taste.  Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
