This month, we are bringing you some food favorites of our own Lauri Hauer!

Lauri joins the Saxon team with over eighteen years of experience in sales and account management. With ten years of dedicated experience in the benefits industry, Lauri understands how to navigate the continually changing benefits world.

Lauri lives in Lebanon with the love of her life, Chris and two wonderful daughters Hanna and Caroline. The family enjoys sharing the couch with their Great Dane, Daisy. When not snuggling up as a family, Lauri enjoys fixing up their old home to give it some new charm.

For a night out Lauri recommends checking out the wood fired grill pizzas at The Works!

Located in the old firehouse in Loveland, The Works is great for a night out with the family or a night on the town with that special someone!

Lauri prefers their pizzas, but they also have pastas, salads, seafood, burger, craft beers and more!

Lauri’s favorite dish to serve when staying in is her Easy Summer Salsa, and this is not your traditional tomato salsa. It is black bean and corn based, and best enjoyed with friends and neighbors around the fire pit.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can yellow/white corn, drained
  • 1 medium sized red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • chopped cilantro

Time to get cooking:

  1. In a bowl, mix the black beans, corn, and red onion.
  2. In another bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar and sugar. Let the sugar somewhat dissolve and then pour into the bowl from step 1.
  3. Chop a few cilantro leaves and mix thoroughly.

The best thing about this salsa is, as the name alludes, it’s easy to make and perfect for entertaining. Also, it just gets better the longer it sits, so making it ahead saves you more time and makes it more delicious! Thanks Lauri!
