Summer Cooking with Libby's Fruits and Vegetables {Prize Pack Giveaway!}

Now that summer is here, I find myself wanting to spend much more time relaxing and hanging out with my family than usual. While I've never been a gourmet chef by any means, who wants to stand in the kitchen cooking complex recipes when they could be watching their kids play, going for a walk, giggling at fireflies, resting in a hammock and more?

Nope, summer is about finding the tastiest and easiest dishes and being able to throw them together without spending any extra valuable minutes in the kitchen.

Which is why it is easy to always turn to Libby's Fruits and Vegetables and all of their delicious products and recipes so that you can bring your family to the table for something tasty in no time.

As one of the nation's largest brands, Libby's Fruits and Vegetables contains over 60 different products and sizes. From household staples such as corn, peas and green beans, they offer one of the industry's most complete lines of canned vegetables, including organic options.

At the same time, their fruit products only meet the highest standards and are created from produce hand selected at the peak of ripeness and nutrient content from the finest orchards.

Considering that I believe that summer is the perfect time to incorporate even more fruits and vegetables into our meals, I was ready to put a fun package of Libby's products and grilling gear to use for my family to enjoy.

While there were a great deal of recipes on the Libby's Recipe App that sounded yummy, my mouth kept watering as I looked at my can of Libby's Organic Black Beans because one thing came to mind: California Caviar Salsa.

I shared this recipe (and my love for it) last summer and have been wanting an excuse to make it again this year. And this can of Organic Black Beans is it!!

California Caviar Salsa
Makes about 4 cups

Ingredients

¼ cup Roasted Garlic Seasoned Rice Vinegar
1 Tbsp. olive oil
¼ tsp. salt
1 to 2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1 can (15 oz.) Libby's Organic Black Beans, rinsed and drained
1 large tomato, seeded and diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup sliced green onions

Directions

In a large bowl, combine rice vinegar, oil, salt, jalapeno and garlic; mix well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve with tortilla chips, bagel chips or crackers.

As much as I loved this recipe over the multiple times that I made it last year, I can honestly say that it is even tastier with Libby's Organic Black Beans included. The whole dish is just so perfect and refreshing for summer!

This summer and beyond, make sure to have Libby's Fruits and Vegetables in your pantry so that you'll be prepared to pull them out for everyday meals as well as for special occasions. Because when it comes to pleasing the whole family or preparing for a BBQ with classic as well as creative recipes, Libby's can make the end results turn out great!
