Chunky Salsa

Do you realize that the 2008 Super Bowl will be played one week from today?

If you'll mix up a batch of this salsa for your football-watching friends and family, I promise you'll get rave reviews and requests for your recipe.


Chunky Salsa

1 15.25-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 15.25-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes (or 3 - 4 medium fresh tomatoes, diced)
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped (or 1 bunch green onions, chopped)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons cumin

Mix all of the above. If you use canned tomatoes, this recipe should keep in your refrigerator for 7 - 10 days; if you use fresh tomatoes, it should keep 2 - 3 days.

Try different variations: add cilantro; add chopped jalapenos; peel and chop an avocado and add it just before serving; etc.

As with many recipes, this one is better after the flavors blend together so make it a few hours early.

Not only is this salsa tasty, it is good for you. Happy snacking!

  1. I didn't know the Super Bowl was coming up so soon...no football fans in this house (yet). But this salsa looks great!
