My friend Carla brought this delicious salsa to a play-date a few years ago…it was an absolute hit with us moms! So, of course I had to get the recipe. I make this often for family, friends, and guests…It is delicious not only with chips but also on salads, tacos, and wraps! Mmmmm!!!
This recipe is dedicated to my dear friend Krista who has been begging me to share it since I made it on our ladies Narnia night, lol. Sorry it took me so long!

Homemade Salsa
3 Tbsp chopped Cilantro
1 can (11oz) Shoepeg corn
1/2 onion diced
1 red pepper diced
1 green pepper diced
1 Cubanelle pepper diced
1 medium tomato diced
1 can (16 oz) black beans
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1 Tbsp fresh garlic

1 Tbsp Tobasco
1 tsp chili powder
Drain and rinse black beans in a colander. Mix well with all other ingredients.
Q. What is Cilantro?
A. It is a delicious herb used in many Spanish, Indian, and Middle Eastern dishes. I recommend purchasing it fresh by the parsley at your grocery store (not in the package). Read the rubber band that is wrapped around it to make sure you are getting Cilantro.
Q. What is a Cubanelle pepper?
A. A banana pepper. It’s sweet and is found next to the red and green peppers at the grocery store
Q. What is Shoepeg Corn?
A. It’s a small, white and very sweet corn.
Enjoy Ladies!
Love to you, Janelle

I would not have thought to use italian dressing in something like this. Now I am curious. I must try this one!
Thanks for sharing,

Looks great! Recipes like these are a great way to get kids to eat their veggies. Here is a similar recipe that is a staple in our house. http://thegrownupgirlscout.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-favorite-anytime-snack.html
Looks gorgeous…. we call cilantro 'coriander' here in the UK, though I think coriander is correctly the seed, and cilantro the leaf ??
It's my favourite herb….love it!
Thanks Ladies! Kristen, you have a great blog! wohoo! Jennifer…you will love it. Homeschool-you are right! coriander is the seed and cilantro is the leaf! Both are gooooood!
Thank you for thinking ahead and giving us the “what is this” and “where to find it” for the ingredients. Usually I skip recipes that have more than one ingredient that I am unfamiliar with because I don’t know what it is or where it can be found! Thank you!!
My Pleasure!
This is delicious!!! I’m so glad you posted this with the meal plan! We loved it!
