Roasted Vegetable Black Bean Salsa

Submitted by Karen in St. Louis

"It is summer time and I wanted to use some of the garden vegetables. I found a black bean salsa recipe (#60617) on recipezaar. It sounded good, but I made roasted potatoes the night before and I had zucchini and yellow squash, onions and a green pepper at home, so I combined the one recipe with the other. Oh did it turn out well. It tasted better that most salsas that I get at restaurants. It isn't that spicy, but very flavorful and perfect for the summer time. It is great with tortilla chips and beer. This recipe can probably be halved easily."

I loved it! Used real spicy tortilla chips with it and thought it was perfect with a cold beer or lemonade Mitzi

I thought there was something missing. I liked it, but I don't know that I would make it again. I added chopped jalapenos but it was still a little bland.

This is the first homemade salsa that I have really loved! I made a few minor changes- I only used one can of beans, I used a whole small yellow squash and a bit of zucchini, too. I used a 28 oz. can of drained diced tomatoes and one fresh tomato and added 2 diced canned jalapinos to add a little "kick". I also used an 11oz. can of shoepeg corn because it is not as sweet as some of the other varieties of corn. What a great recipe! Thanks, Karen!
