Black Bean Salsa

This fresh tasting salsa is loaded with nutrients. A cold beer and a generous serving of this healthy treat with tortilla chips (don't forget the baked option!)makes for a lovely way to spend a sunny afternoon.

4 cups chopped ripe tomatoes
2 cups black beans (canned and rinsed are fine, or cooked and cooled)
1 cup finely chopped red onion
1 large fresh jalapeno, finely chopped (seeded for milder salsa, leave the seeds for more heat)
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (I've used dried in a pinch)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
S&P to taste
pinch sugar, optional
6 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. olive oil

Combine the first 7 ingredients, season with the S&P. Add juice, oil, and sugar, mix thoroughly. That's it. It's that easy.
Enjoy!
