Fresh Salsa!

I love fresh salsa in the spring and summer, one of my favorite snacks.  And my favorite thing about it: you can make it just the way you like it.
Here is my recipe for my favorite fresh salsa:

Ingredients: 
tomatoes, whatever kind looks freshest at the market or grocery store
red onion
limes
black beans, canned
avocado
fresh cilantro

Start Cooking:
1.  Chop the tomatoes into small pieces.  Chop the onion into very small pieces.  Chop the avocado into small pieces, about the same size as the tomatoes.  Finely chop a handful of fresh cilantro.  Put all of this into a bowl with a lid.
2.  Drain and rinse the can of black beans.  Add about half of them to the salsa mix.
3.  Juice the lime directly into the salsa mix.
4.  Gently mix everything together with a spoon.

Tips and hints:

1.  Store in an air tight container in the fridge, will last a few days, if you don't eat it all first! 

2.  I like mild salsa.  If you like hot salsa, add some chopped up hot peppers to your salsa.  

3.  Fresh is best!  Shop local if you can.  If the ingredients don't look fresh at the store/market, wait until they get new produce in and buy then.  Your salsa will taste much better with fresh ingredients!  

Enjoy!
