Black Bean & Papaya Salsa
Who can resist salsa? This twist on a classic recipe will surely be a crowd-pleaser. By making your own salsa, you get the option of adding in extra fiber, all while consuming much less sodium and added sugar than a store-bought brand. Double the batch as we anticipate this one will disappear from the bowl quickly!
