Black Bean Salsa


This is a delicious salsa that our friend Britton makes. She finally shared her recipe with us and we couldn't be happier. Be aware that this make a huge amount of salsa so it's perfect for any party!

Ingredients:

1 large can diced tomatoes
2 small or 1 large can Rotel tomatoes (original or mild)
2 cans black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 (16 oz bottle of zesty Italian dressing (I like to use fat free)
3-4 medium/large tomatoes - diced
2 yellow onions - diced
1 bunch green onions - diced
1 bunch cilantro - chopped
3-4 jalapenos - seeded and diced
1 package frozen shoe peg or super sweet white corn
1 yellow or orange bell pepper, diced
Fresh garlic to taste (about 2 Tbsp.)

Mix all the ingredients together and enjoy!

Tips:
*2 small cans of diced tomatoes are a good substitute for the 1 large.
* I like more black beans so you can add another can if you like
*Use 1 large yellow onion in place of the 2 regular
*I would use only 2 jalapenos (I'm not into the really hot salsa)
*Salsa will store at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 2 weeks
