Black Bean Salsa

I just love fresh salsa and there is one Fresh Mex restaurant that has a black bean salsa that I have been trying to duplicate for such along time. I don't quite have it, but I have come up with one that I think works and my family and friends seem to really like.

Ingredients:

6-8 Roma Tomatoes

1 bunch Green Onions

1/2 C Cilantro (leaves only)

4 Jalapenos (cleaned and seeded, if you like it a little hotter leave some of the seeds in)

4-6 cloves Garlic (or 1 TSP Garlic)

1 1/2 Desert Garden Green Chile Sauce -(I have buy this at Whole Foods Market- but I am sure they have it other places as well)

2-15 oz Muir Glen Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes

3 C cooked/drained Black Beans

Juice of 1 Lime


Directions:

Cut your tomatoes into 1/8 cubes, rough chop the rest of your produce (it just makes chopping easier, at least for us OCDers).

In your multi chopper add: Green Onion, Garlic, Cilantro, and Jalapenos. Chop on moment speed until you achieve a consistent size.

Add: Tomatoes and chop again to achieve consistent size.

Add: Black Beans, and Muir Glen Tomatoes, chop again to achieve consistent size.

Add: Green Chile Sauce, and Lime juice, and do final chop. Chop until you achieve desired consistency.

Empty contents into a dish that will go into the refrigerator and add Sea Salt to taste.

Refrigerate salsa for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to merry, trust me on this one.

Give this one a try and let me know what you think.

Enjoy!
