Lost in Laundry

Sunday, October 10, 2010

I don't think my cousin invented this salsa. But I got the recipe from her, so in my house, it's called

"Cousin Jessy's Black Bean Salsa."

It's gooooood.

Gather ingredients:

Yum.

Dice onion and tomatoes. I just learned how to dice an onion. For the 2 of you reading who don't already know how, here's a lesson.


Aren't purple onions pretty?

Mix together all ingredients except avocados, and put in fridge to chill. Dice avocados immediately before serving and add to salsa.


So. I'm obviously not a food photographer. It tastes better than this picture looks.

Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy! Take this to your next football party. Your friends will love you!

Lime juice, about 6 tblsp. (takes about 6 limes)
