Bring on the Sunshine!

Summer = Fresh.
Fresh salsa is SO good. I just heard you groan with displeasure at the work before you. I've got your back on this one!

Open a 16oz jar of your favorite salsa. I used "medium".
Chop a medium green pepper, medium red bell pepper, half a red onion, 2-3 cloves of fresh garlic, 3-ish medium ripe tomatoes, and 1/4 cup fresh cilantro. Also add 1 small can chopped green chiles, 1 can of drained and rinsed black beans, and about 2 cups of fresh or frozen (and thawed) sweet corn. Mix in a spoonful of sugar, spoonful of salt and spoonful of cumin. Squeeze in the juice of one lime and let it all hang out for awhile.

Yummy! If you like some spice I think you can use a "hot" salsa as the base. The medium actually washed right out with all the additions. You could also use a fresh jalapeno pepper. I liked it without too much spice though. It stayed super fresh and light and hit everybody's taste buds in all the right ways!
