Now I see a good 37% of you rolling your eyes and saying, “Um, salsa isn’t a meal.” When you do it like this? It totally is. This is one of my favorite summertime dinners—a big bowl of rainbow-colored bean salsa, a bag of chips, and the front porch. It doesn’t get easier (or tastier) than that! If I still haven’t convinced you that this salsa is hearty enough to make it a meal, you could also grill up some fish or chicken and serve this salsa alongside. Yum!
