Peach and Black Bean Salsa with Chips
Peach and Black Bean Salsa with Chips
Salsa usually refers to a tomato-based, sometimes spicy sauce that’s served dip-style with tortilla chips. Here, however, the tried and true gets a new twist. Instead of tomato, there’s juicy peach. (Hint: Use a fully ripened peach so that it’s lusciously sweet tasting.) To balance it out and give it great body, I’ve incorporated black beans. Now this lively salsa, with its Caribbean accent, can be served as a satisfying salad, not just as a dip for chips. (From “The With or Without Meat Cookbook”, p. 64)
