3 Bean Salad

Costco has many delicious foods in their giant warehouses but one thing that I just can’t get enough of is their 3 bean salad! Introduced to us by my aunt, it is now a staple in our meals. The challenge however… Is that we are way too cheap and don’t go through nearly enough food to make our own Costco membership worth it.. Which leaves us at the mercy of my aunt’s shopping schedule.

Below is my way around it, my grandmother gave me a huge collection of fresh beans to create something with, and I couldn’t think of a better use than making a nice big batch of 3 bean salad!

Be sure to Sanitize your Jars before putting the beans in to ensure they will last.

Recipe: Homemade Salsa

Simple and delicious. Also an excuse to pull out my food processor! (Legitimately my favorite appliance after my mixer) Sometimes I choose recipes based on the fact that I just want to use the food processor.

Notes about this recipe: I call for jalapenos but you can opt out for a milder salsa OR substitute for another pepper such as chili peppers.

Dried cilantro can be used in lieu of fresh as if you are a gardener, your cilantro was probably done months ago.

Garlic lovers: I call for one clove of garlic but you measure that shit with your heart.

This delicious salsa adds kick to any dish or appetizer! Alter it to the spiciness that you crave and cater your veggies if you want. I'm a sucker for peppers so I cram as many peppers into my recipe as I can!

Be sure to Sterilize your Jars before canning the salsa. This will ensure it will be preserved.
