Mango Black Bean Salsa

This was a recipe I found online. It was a HUGE hit at dinner! I made it with the following recipe and it took NO time at all! You can (for you meat lovers) make fajita seasoned chicken to serve with this salsa and it is delicious as well! It's a quick easy summer meal, or a great snack/party food!

Mango Black Bean Salsa Ingredients:

1 mango, cubed

1/4 onion (I prefer yellow)

1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped

1 can of rinsed black beans

1 can of rinsed corn

1 teaspoon garlic salt

In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Serve with tortilla chips, use as a taco filler, you name it! Prep time is about 10 minutes.

Additional Notes: I made this at the same time I did the fruit and vegetable salad, so I chopped the onion, cubed the mango, and chopped the parsley all at once to save on cooking time, and then put those 3 ingredients in the refridgerator until I was ready to make the rest of the salsa. I prefer frozen corn so I cooked frozen corn and then rinsed it with the black beans. Walmart did not carry uncooked black beans or I would have made them myself too. This salsa only has 39 calories per serving (without chicken) and makes 8 servings! The image shown is leftover after 4 people at multiple servings.

Fruit Salad

Fruit Salad Ingredients:

1 Mango, cubed

2 Gala Apples

6 Strawberries

2 Kiwi

Lemon Juice

This one is also easy! Peel, dice, and mix! Pour lemon juice in the salad and mix it to keep the apple slices from turning brown! This makes a great dessert, snack, and is wonderful in yogurt too!

Vegetable Salad

Vegetable Salad:


1 Cucumber
2 Roma Tomatoes
1 Organic stalk of celery (smaller than the other ones you buy)
1/4 Onion
1/8 a cup of cilantro, chopped
1/2 container of queso fresco
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper





Rinse, Peel, Cut up, Toss in bowl! Pour olive oil over salad and stir. Salt and pepper to taste, then cover and put in the refridgerator for 30 minutes to let it soak before serving. Will last at least 4 days in the refridgerator if you want to make snack size servings and eat throughout the week. This is an extremely refreshing salad to eat during the summer. It's also veggie! Note: Queso fresco ingredients are : skim milk, salt, enzymes. Yay all natural cheeses!
