    Black Bean Corn Salsa Recipe
    --------------------------------------

    Salsa does just not have to be served with the traditional tortilla chips anymore. This black bean corn salsa is a great addition to any meal, or dish. Best of all, it is a fat free and low calorie accompaniment.

    Happy Cooking!

    * 1 can black beans - drained and washed
    * 1 can corn - drained
    * 1/2 cup diced red onion
    * 1/4 cup diced jalapenos
    * 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
    * 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    * 2 large tomatoes - diced
    * 2 cloves garlic - chopped
    * salt and pepper to taste

    Directions:
    Wash all your veggies, drain all your canned goods, and cut as described. Combine all into a plastic or glass container.

    Chill in the refrigerator at least 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.

    Tip From Chef Bek:
    Do not use a metal container to store the salsa. The acids in the lime juice and tomatoes will have a reaction with the metal.

    Serving Suggestions:
    * Serve with warm tortilla chips.
    * Serve as a sauce for fresh fish.
    * Wrap in a warm tortilla with chicken, sliced avocado, and lettuce.
    * Place inside a breakfast omelet.
    * Add to a bed of mixed greens with some crushed tortilla chips.

    Happy Eating!
