Santa Fe Salsa

Submitted by Bellinda

"I love this recipe because it's so easy to make and also healthy and goes with all kinds of food. I came up with it when we had unexpected company. I really wanted to make some sort of salad and this were the ingredients that I had on hand. You can use it as a salad or a salsa."

We took this to a friends house last night for dinner and it was a huge hit! We served it with tortilla chips alongside some hot spinach and artichoke dip another guest brought! Thanks for posting! [Made for PRMR tag April 2010]!

This was delicious! I loved the fresh tomatoes with it. On the second day, I followed JackieOhNo!'s review and added small pasta to it for lunch. Thanks for a good one!

Very nice recipe! I can see where this recipe could be very versatile to fit moods/tastes. I went the lemon juice route instead of vinegar, and didn't use cilantro as we really don't like it. Outside of that, this salsa is very good! I would make it again, and switch off on different beans/veggies/seasonings. I also like the idea of adding this to pasta as another reviewer noted.

Nice, tasty dish that is very versatile. Rather than use it as a salsa, I mixed some with some mini-bowtie pasta and packed it for my lunch. It was a nice, change of pace and very healthy. Thanks for posting this. Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag Game.

This is SO delicious! Not only would it make a great salsa, but it would be great as a salad with brown rice. Or in a wrap. Or both! I used green garlic, lime juice instead of vinegar (juice of two limes), and a red and yellow pepper. Oh, and two serrano peppers, since I like it spicy. Oh, I will make this again, and again! Thank you, Bellinda!!! Made for Veggie Swap 13.
