So, I received my Food Network magazine in the mail a few days ago, and I finally had a couple of minutes to flip through it. Came across this little pullout -- I may try a few of them at some point because they look like yummy, wonderful comfort food. I mean, who wouldn't want to try Stuffed Italian Meatballs or Jamaican Meatballs or Mole Meatballs. Not so sure about the Swordfish Meatballs yet, but 1 out of 50 isn't bad.
But instead of posting meatball recipes, I am going to share with you a healthy recipe. Well....it's healthy if you don't consume the entire bowl of it in one sitting. Which, I warn you, is a distinct possibility. It is SO GOOD. I would say that it's life-changing, but since my last blog was about something that was actually life-changing, I'm going to go with.....paradigm-shifting? As in, even if you don't like healthy food, you will like this (and I say that as someone who ADORES unhealthy food of many kinds).
Black Bean & Feta Salsa
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar to taste
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, drained (a normal size can, not a teeny can -- 14 or 15 oz)
8 oz feta cheese
1 bunch scallions, chopped
3 chopped tomatoes (I used Roma)
A few dashes of chili powder and pepper
Whisk first 4 ingredients until blended. Add the rest, mix well, and chill. (Easiest. Directions. Ever. And it even tells you to chill at the end. I think I will.)
Then try to behave yourself and eat somewhat in moderation.
(Thank you to my dear friend, Nena, who was so kind to share this.)
