Black Bean Avocado Salsa image

This has to be my favorite summer salsa. It's colorful and fresh tasting. It makes a bunch, so invite some friends over. I like to take the lime after it's been juiced and rub down the bowl I will be serving the salsa in. I also rub the lime on the plastic wrap this will help keep the avocados from turning brown. Don't forget the tortilla chips!

COTTAGE CHEESE, AVOCADO, AND BLACK BEAN SALSA



Cottage Cheese, Avocado, and Black Bean Salsa image

This may look and sound sort of bad, but let me tell you, there isn't a tastier, nutritious, salsa-like dip to hold you over while you wait for dinner. Funny enough, this was created as an experiment with leftovers, and now I have over 15 friends making it on a regular basis! This is a great recipe that can be stored in the refrigerator for several days for a quick, anytime snack. (Frozen corn, heated and cooled in the same manner, may be used in place of the corn on the cob.)

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Make sure the avocados are ripe but not overripe. Ripe avocados will yield easily to gentle pressure and have a deep, dark green color.
  • Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh limes, you can substitute lemon juice, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Chop the vegetables evenly: Chopping the vegetables evenly will help ensure that they cook evenly. It will also make the salsa more visually appealing.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooking the vegetables will make them mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Season to taste: Once the salsa is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, lime juice, or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Cottage cheese, avocado, and black bean salsa is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, a topping, or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover cottage cheese and avocados, and it is also a healthy and flavorful option for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or a healthy and refreshing meal, this salsa is sure to please.
