This salsa is by far one of the most filling and heartiest that I’ve ever eaten.  These fresh ingredients come together in no time!

  2. I just made this after having lusted after it on pinterest for weeks. I ate about half of the batch already. It’s so delicious. I didn’t have cumin so I used seasoned salt and it turned out really well. Thank you for this.

  3. I grab a bag of salad greens and a tub of this salsa in the fresh section at the grocery store for 3 or 4 weekday lunches. It’s so tasty, satisfying and filling! I really should just whip it up myself.

    • Hi Jackie! This recipe yields 6 cups of Black Bean Salsa. I would think 1/2 cup portions would be a good appetizer size, so probably 12 appetizer servings? It totally depends upon the appetites of your guests. Hope you enjoy! 🙂

    • Hi Mary, sorry for the delay in responding… have been moving the past several days. I’ve never tried canning it so I cannot say, and I don’t do a lot of canning (it’s on my list to tackle, though!). Good luck and hope you enjoy the recipe. 🙂

    • Hi Kim, I’ve refrigerated it up to 24 hours before serving… but I can’t say how it would be refrigerated any longer than that. Hope you enjoy! 🙂

  12. I made it and it was very delicious. I would like more black beans and less corn next time and it got a little juicy after sitting so didn’t know how it would turn out if I cut the olive oil and lime juice in half but it was still very good.

  13. This recipe looks amazing! I’d like to know if it’s something I could can, have you ever tried it? And if so, did it work? How long would you process it?

    • Hi Sydney, Thanks so much! No, I’ve never tried to can it… actually I’ve never canned anything so I can’t give any advice on it… so sorry I couldn’t be of more help. I hope you enjoy it if you make it! 🙂
