Warm Black Bean Salsa

Warm Black Bean Salsa

VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY

This dip is a perennial hit. I served it at a birthday party for my daughter a few years ago and guests practically licked the bowl. If you’re using sweet peppers rather than poblano and want a zestier result, add an extra jalapeño or chipotle pepper. This is delicious served with Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips (page 43) or a slice of warm gluten-free cornbread.
