This Delicious Texas Salsa is super easy to make. Great with tortilla chips or as a side salad with your main course. Ready in 1 hour!
This Texas Salsa is simply delicious! All the ingredients you come to expect in a salsa. Unlike some of my other Salsa Recipes, this one is not spicy.
Whenever you use black beans in a recipe, make sure you rinse them really well before combining them with the other ingredients.
I usually rinse them in a colander and rinse until the water runs clear, shaking the colander occasionally to make sure the beans on the bottom get rinsed.
To ensure you get the maximum flavor out of this salsa it’s important to let the salsa rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
That doesn’t mean you can’t eat it before then but it takes about 1 hour for the red wine vinaigrette to meld with the rest of the ingredients.

How Long Does Salsa Last
While several factors come into play, homemade salsa will last 4 to 6 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also freeze salsa in an airtight container or bag for up to 4 months.
