Looking for something different to bring to a barbeque or picnic this weekend? Or, maybe you just want something to make to gobble up yourself? Here it is folks! I made this one afternoon for a BBQ we were going to later in the evening. I couldn’t stop “tasting” it. Then, when my husband came in he couldn’t either. Once we got to the BBQ, we were anxious to open it so we could dive in. This recipe makes a lot, almost 3 pounds worth of food, and it was pretty much eaten by four adults! We forced ourselves to eat the rest of the food, but we could have just had the bean salsa and been good.

It’s a hardy appetizer, but the Italian dressing gives it a nice, light taste. Really, with all of the beans and vegetables, it’s good for you! My husband has deemed this his favorite recipe and told me to make it often!

I used roma tomatoes since they have less seeds and are better for salsas. You could also probably get away with using a can of diced tomatoes if you like. I julienned, and then chopped the bell peppers, so that they were very fine. I didn’t want the salsa to have a strong bell pepper taste, but I liked the nice crunch it gave the salsa.
