Black Bean and Orange Salsa
Forget
the sour cream and fried fare in
your appetizers; this dip will
satisfy your hunger and your
taste buds.
Beans are low in fat and high in
fiber, which can help you watch
your weight by keeping you
feeling full with fewer
calories. Orange slices and lime
juice, chopped scallions,
cilantro and the kick of
jalapeno can make any backyard
shindig feel like a summer
fiesta.
Ingredients
1 navel orange
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 small yellow bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves (stems removed)
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions, white and green parts
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 tsp. melted coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Grate 1 teaspoon of zest from
orange, and set aside. Peel and
section orange, holding it over
a medium bowl to reserve juice.
Chop sections and place them,
with all juice collected into
bowl. Add beans, yellow pepper,
jalapeño, cilantro and
scallions.
Whisk together lime juice and
oil in small bowl. Mix it into
salsa, tossing with fork to
combine. Season to taste with
sea salt and pepper.
Mix in orange zest. Let salsa
stand 30 minutes before serving
to allow flavors to develop and
meld.
This salsa keeps for 24 hours,
tightly covered, in
refrigerator.
