Day 29

Made some very good salsa that got great reviews at the cookout I went to last night. It was very pretty and colorful, would have loved to have taken a photo, but it got devoured before I could. So, here's a picture of something similar to give you an idea:



Very easy to make:

One can of organic corn
One can of organic black beans
One can of organic diced tomatoes
One diced red onion
Two diced jalapenos (Two jalapenos gave it a pretty good kick - if you want less spice, probably would only want to use one).
One diced organic avocado
Some lime juice (about 1/2 a cup)

The real trick is trying to find an avocado that isn't hard as a rock but also isn't brown. Other recipes I found for this also added cilantro, which would probably be pretty good, but I though it might overpower some of the other flavors. You could also add some bell peppers. I would also like to try adding some fruit - maybe pineapple? FYI, this recipe makes a lot of salsa.
