salsa to change it up

My MIL had this when we visited a few weeks back.  I didn’t write anything down, but I did remember a half bottle of “robusto italian” dressing.  It must be Robusto.  It makes a big batch, but it doesn’t even matter if it sits in your refrig all week, because the flavors just keep getting better and better.  I bought a red-yellow-orange package of the bell peppers, so I used all 3 of them.  I  freaking love bell peppers.  But if you don’t like left-overs or you’re afraid the other halves of your peppers will go bad, just choose 2 colors and use the whole things.  We used the left over peppers on a tri-pepper pizza (same dough as the one here).

Throw ‘em in the bowl:

• can corn, drained
• can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1/2 orange bell pepper, finely chopped
• bunch of green onions (4-6?), finely chopped
• can mild Rotel tomatoes, drained
• 1/2 bottle of Wish Bone Robusto Italian
• 1/2 cup-3/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Stir and marinate for a few hours in the frig.  I kept going to visit the frig and take small bites of this stuff  “to see if it was ready.”  It does taste amazing after marinating for a good long while, but it tastes dang good in the minutes after you make it, too.

It’s good with rice, on tortilla chips, by itself, with hummus, you name it.
