Fresh Tomato and Black Bean Salsa

Earlier this month I posted a recipe for Heather's Salsa.  It requires much chopping, and cooking, and canning.  But there is an alternative; fresh salsa.

If you still have some tomatoes popping up in your garden, give this a try.  And if you don't, maybe go out and buy some.  It's worth the trip.
