Made this for my other half to take along to one of the weekly meetings he attends & it was a big hit! During the prep, I also included a few things suggested by you (adding some corn) & Tink (letting some of the ingredients marinate for a while) & apparently it was all for the making of a great tasting salsa! Nothing like the satisfaction of others when you make something! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed as something of a post-PAC tag]

This is a great salsa base. I made this as directed and after tasting added a bit of salt and pepper. Next time I'll probably use an extra jalapeno (personal preference), as it wasn't spicy with one. I think this recipe would benefit from marinating the black beans, lime juice, salt, pepper and the jalapenos for a couple hours. Then combine with the rest of the ingredients. Loved the cilantro being the star of the show! :) Thanks for sharing your recipe, campania! Made and enjoyed for Spring 2011 Pick A Chef. You've been adopted!
