Making your own salsa at home is a lot easier than you might think. Matter of fact, I can’t remember the last time that I purchased salsa from a store, it’s been at least 10 years if not more. When you make your own salsa at home, you control the ingredients and there is nothing like a freshly made batch to tempt your taste buds.

This zesty salsa is so versatile. Enjoy it as a topping over a big green salad, stuffed in artichokes, or as a marvelous companion to seafood or poultry, served over whole-grain rice.
Black Bean Salsa Recipe
1 cup cooked and drained black beans (no-salt-added)
1 cup medium diced tomatoes
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro or dill
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Toss well until evenly mixed. Chill and serve.
I really like black beans and there just arent any recipes using them. I like the idea of this salsa. Actually it could be used too on top of a salad or I would even put this in a sandwich! It looks delicious!
Nice. I like that this salsa isn’t overly saucy. I love Tex-Mex style foods, and this would make a great accompaniment to many of the dishes I make. Thanks for finding and sharing the recipe.
Homemade, fresh salsa is one of my favorites to have with fish or chicken. Fresh cilantro and lime juice would give it so much flavor plus it looks very simple to make.
I bookmarked this to make later.
Thanks for the recipe!
It certainly looks good. I’d love to be able to try that with some homemade tortilla chips!
Yum! I bet this would go great with fish or chicken tacos which we eat often.
When you make your own salsa you know exactly what’s in it (and what’s not). Good recipe.
My husband loves black beans so I know he would love this salsa. I appreciate that this is a healthy recipe and would love to make it soon.
