Summer Lovin' With Gretchen

I'm thrilled to be popping in while Olivia and her family live it up in Arizona! I'm sure they are having 

a blast in the summer sunshine :) Speaking of summer, something about it literally makes my mouth 

water for Mexican food. Especially salsa. 

This recipe is from my dear friend, Charissa, and is hands-down the ultimate salsa. 

May I introduce ... BLACK BEAN SALSA! Here's what you'll need:

• 2-15 oz cans of black beans, drained and rinsed 
• 1-15 oz can of corn, drained
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 cup lime juice, start with that, but you usually need more especially if it sits for awhile
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
• 1/2 cup cilantro
• 1 chopped red pepper 
• 1 small chopped red onion

Mix everything together in a large bowl and I promise you won't be disappointed! I highly recommend 

eating it with those bright green guacamole chips if you're going the dipping route or it is also fabulous 

atop burrito bowls or on nachos!
