Black Bean Salsa

As many know, I'm NOT a fan of heat, but this sure was pretty dang tasty though!

14oz (or one can) black beans
1 large tomato, diced
Juice of 1 lime, and zest
1/4C chopped yellow onion
dash of salt (maybe a 1/2 tsp or so tops)
dash of pepper
dash of cumin
1/2tsp olive oil

Drain and rinse beans well. Dice tomato, add to beans, add lime juice as well, and some zest if you like. Stir together, add onion and salt, pepper, and cumin. Add olive oil last, stir again, serve either with baked chips. (which you can get plain corn or white tortillas, and bake them at 350 until golden brown, and use those as chips)
