Black Bean Salsa in a white bowl with corn chipsThis healthy black bean salsa recipe is loaded with lots of fresh veggies and is great to snack on while watching football or TV or just hanging around.  I have a love/hate relationship when the Fall season rolls around here in the Northeast.  Love the fact that football is back on (YAY!!), but I really love the changing of the weather and the vibrant colors of the leaves.  Raking them is another story.

As I looked out my kitchen window today and saw the back yard completely covered in leaves, I realized something had to be done about it.  So I raked today...a lot.  The good news is it was a beautiful day.  Crisp, clear and a perfect 60 degrees.  It was a fantastic way to get some much needed exercise.  So, now that I've burned major calories, it's time to make some healthy appetizers!

A bean dip that healthy and easy to make!

Wanting something that didn't take long to make, I pulled out one of my favorite dip recipes for this black bean salsa.  I love this recipe because you can make it as a Mexican dip salsa by adding a can of diced tomatoes and chilles (or a cup of Mexican salsa).  It's great as a salad/side dish.

Feel free to add as little or as much of the ingredients as you want.  If you want more fresh tomatoes or cilantro and less black beans, go for it!  Just be sure to add enough acid, such as cider vinegar and/or lime juice, to balance it all out.
