Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup grape tomatoes -- quartered
1 1/4 cups cooked black beans -- or 1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
2 large scallions -- minced (white and green parts)
1/2 cup chopped fresh mozzarella cheese -- about 2 1/2 ounces
1 medium Anaheim chili pepper -- seeded and diced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.

Makes 3 cups (12 one-quarter cup servings).

This almost fat-free relish can best be described as "good, clean fun." It's great with tortilla chips or pita chips. And unlike traditional salsa, it really could be the major part of a vegetarian meal. For brunch, we love to serve it on fresh greens or over homemade corn waffles, eggs, or both. (It's the best corn waffle topper we've ever found.) For a spicier version, submitted a hot serrano or jalapeno chile for the Anaheim chile.
