Fourth of July Fiesta Salad

FLUFFSTER's Note:

On one of the most celebrated holidays it just a given that we'll plan an outside activities and food. Speaking of black beans, what an easy and tasty recipe! And all you do is open a few cans, a small amount of chopping, and you're good to go! Did someone say picnic? Here's a tip: instead of chopping the tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro, just use your favorite salsa, or better yet, try my Salsa My Way #218314. I hope you enjoy this recipe and my salsa recipe. Roma tomatoes are usually longer than a regular tomato. They are used primarily in Italian food recipes. They have more pulp than regular tomatoes, and have less juice.
