Yummy salsa


So, my passion for food has had to take a nosedive recently. I'm having some problem with my digestive track, probably the gallbladder, but we're having a tough time assessing exactly what the problem is. In the meantime, I can't eat any food that is fatty, acidic, or spicy. Sigh. BUT... I have a salsa recipe that is neither too acidic or too spicy for me right now, and even if you don't have the problems I have, it is downright delicious and E-A-S-Y to make.

You'll need:
1/4 of a medium-sized sweet onion
1 garlic clove
1 can diced tomatoes, with their juice
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 limes, juiced
1/4 t. salt
10-12 sprigs of fresh cilantro

In a blender, chop the onion and garlic clove. Add the tomatoes and blend on low until all remaining pieces of onion and garlic are chopped. Add the beans, lime juice, salt and cilantro and pulse a couple of times. (You can take all the leaves off the cilantro sprigs, or I just pinch off the sprig below the lowest leaves and throw the top in.) Chill for 2-3 hours and Voila! A delectable snack that is easily digestible. :-)

Hope you enjoy it!
