Black Bean Salsa Salad - Global Dish - Stephanie Arsenault
Salsa is officially the best condiment. Is it a condiment? I think it's more of a food group. My niece eats like three jars ofthe stuff a day.

"Apparently" salsa and chips doesn’t make for the most balanced meal, so I decided to incorporate some more solid ingredients into my favourite black bean and corn salsa. Topped with Cajun grilled chicken, this Black Bean Salsa Salad is pretty darn tasty… tasty enough to eat for three meals in a row.
