Favorite Party Recipe (Happy Birthday McMommy)

I’m over at McMommy’s place today to help her celebrate the big 3-0.  Happy Birthday!!

She asked us to bring our favorite dish and post the recipe on our blog, and the first thing that I thought of was my Mango Black Bean Salsa recipe  (it isn’t actually mine since I got it from a friend who probably got it from some recipe website, but whatever).  It is so good and pretty easy to make (if you don’t mind cutting things up). 

This is a great recipe for the summer months because it is light and refreshing.  I think it is pretty healthy too, but we can forgive that since it tastes so darn good.  Oh and it tastes great with a Margarita.  Doesn’t everything??!!

Mango Black Bean Salsa
 
1 fresh mango peeled and chopped
1 large tomato – chopped
1 red bell pepper – chopped (or yellow, green or orange)
1/4 C. finely chopped red onion
1 can black beans – rinsed & drained
 
Combine all ingredients.  Add to mixture below.
 
1 TBSP rasberry wine vinegar
1 TBSP olive oil
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
Juice of 1/2 – 1 lime to taste
chopped cilantro to taste
 
If preparing in advance, chill in fridge before adding oil/vinegar mixture.  Add mixture about 1 hour prior to serving.
 
Serve w/ “scoops”.  Also works on chicken or fish.

Go get your party shoes on and head over to McMommy’s.  Here are mine.  I’m not modeling them because I need a serious pedicure, but you can get the idea.  These are my black patent leather peep-toe pumps.  They look cuter in person.

    Is that photo of your actual dish? If so it looks amazing. I love the colour combinations.

    Also I have a free e-book to download on my my site that you might be interested in called Planning With Kids Top 100 Tips.
