Honey Lime Bean Salsa

This salsa is similar to this one (which by the way is equally amazing!). It has a honey lime dressing that you drizzle over it. It creates the perfect contrast to all the veggies and beans. Feel free to change up the dressing ingredients and amount to your liking. You could add cilantro, cumin, more jalapeno for heat, more honey, less honey…. basically, it’s very adaptable to what you prefer. We loved it this way. The sweet from the honey was understated, but you could still taste it and the lime together.

 I am off to try and catch up from being gone for a week. Thankfully my parents were here with the kids, so there won’t be much catch-up to do. Your plans this weekend or week should definitely include making this. It’s really good. You can eat it right away, or let it sit in the fridge for like an hour. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more liquid will pool up in the bottom of the bowl. Not a big deal because you just mix it all together again and it’s good as new.

Bean Salsa

• ▢ 6 roma tomatoes seeded and diced small

Honey Lime Dressing

• ▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil

• ▢ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ▢ ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

• In small bowl mix together, with a wire whisk, the olive oil, honey, lime juice, salt and pepper. Pour over the bean salsa in the large bowl and mix all together.

Notes

Jalapeño : Use as much or as little of the jalapeño as you prefer. I use half of a jalapeño when I make this. If you want it spicy then be sure and leave the seeds in and the white membrane part of the jalapeño. If you want the dip to be mild then take out the seeds and white membrane part when cutting the jalapeño. 

Sweet Onion : If the onion is really big then just use half. Or if you love onion then use it all!
