    Fast Mango Bean Salsa

    April 10, 2014

    What I love about this mango bean salsa recipe is that it takes 5 minutes to make and tastes and looks like it took much longer. Just looking at the beautiful colors makes me think happy thoughts :)

     I make this whenever I don't know what else to make. I usually eat this with homemade tortilla chips, as a salad or as a wrap filling. As with most things, the simpler the better. This recipe really showcases that. The beans keep you feeling full and it is light enough that you won't have to crawl to the couch after eating this. The great thing about this salsa/salad is that the mango is just sweet enough to curb any dessert craving I might have had.
    So how do you dice a mango? The easiest way is to cut off the sides as shown below.
    Then using a sharp knife, cut several vertical lines into the mango flesh and then horizontal ones. Make sure you don't cut too deep. You don't want to cut through the skin. Then push the skin upwards and cut off the little cubes.
    Then combine it with the other salsa ingredients and you're done!
