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!
Fitness, food, & writing are my passions, so of course, a blog. As a certified personal trainer in Napa, where food is an art form, I want to eat it, enjoy it, & still be able to get in to my jeans. Anti diet, pro healthy lifestyle. I've spent the last 20 yrs teaching about food & fitness, researching, & writing about it, so I've got a lot to say. I believe in balance; don't forget to do your pushups, & if you love 'em, by all means, enjoy some pancakes!
