Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped red onion about ½ a large red onion or 1 small
  • 1 jalapeno, pulp & seeds removed, chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 limes, juice of ~4 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Chop the roma tomatoes, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Remove the jalapeno pulp and seeds and chop the jalapeno. Drain and rinse a can of black beans.
  • Add the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno and black beans to a large bowl or medium bowl.
  • Add the fresh lime juice, garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper and mix everything to combine.
  • Hint: if you like it with a little heat, leave in some of the jalapeno seeds - that's where a lot of the spiciness comes from in a jalapeno.

Notes

Expert Tips
  • I like to chop my vegetables about as big as they would be for pico de gallo which is chunkier than for salsa.
  • If you are one of those people who hates cilantro, replace it with parsley.
  • If using canned beans, be sure to rinse them before adding to the salsa. This removes some of the excess sodium.
Meal Prep & Storage
  • Meal Prep - meal prep by chopping the veggies in advance. That way all you have to do is throw everything together in a large mixing bowl when serving time comes around!
  • Refrigerator - store your leftover Black Bean Salsa in and airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. It's even better the next day!
