Tuesdays At The Table - Cowboy Salsa

Happy Tuesday, everyone!  I hope you all had good weekends and that Monday was nice to you, too.  :-)  This weekend featured some shopping, lots of errands and a beach birthday party for my friend's little girl.  Despite applying SPF 70 sunblock - I'm still a little pink.  Eh, that's OK - the beach-front fun was worth it.

A co-worker of mine introduced our department to Cowboy Salsa a few years ago.  I've recently found a recipe that is a bit different than hers - but just as yummy!

Cowboy Salsa

1 can Black Beans, rinsed & drained
2 cans Whole Kernel Corn, drained
2-3 Tomatoes, chopped
2 large Avocados, chopped
1/2  a red onion, diced
1 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
1 pkg. Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix
1 t. Garlic Powder
Juice from one lime (about 2-3 T.)
1 can Green Chilies

Prepare the italian dressing mix as directed on package.  Combine all other ingredients together and chill.  Serve with tortilla or pita chips.
