Great for the 4th

July 2, 2012

Between all the baking I did for the birthday extravaganza and the summer craziness, I haven’t spent much time in the kitchen lately. A few weeks ago I made a southwestern black bean salad from my favorite website Skinny Taste. It was awesome and very much like a “salsa” my mother-in-law makes. So this time I made Sandy’s Salsa which has all the same ingredients but a little different spin. It’s an easy dish that is great for the summer (light and cool). It can be a dip or a salad.
