Black Bean Salsa Dip

Garden bounty of heirloom tomatoes

I created this recipe on the spur of the moment, using ingredients I had.  A few black beans and some cilantro left from the weekend and fresh salsa that Tom made from the  bounty of fresh garden tomatoes, peppers, and onions. So I combined the black beans with some salsa and threw in some extra cilantro and a bit of Fage Greek yogurt to make it creamy.  Superb! If you don't have the ingredients to make fresh salsa, you can easily use your favorite brand of purchased salsa.  For the nutritional analysis, I used mild Pace Chunky Style Salsa.  Ah....the joy and Pzazz of creation.
