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.
