RECIPE: Rec: Black Bean and Mango Salsa

[barb_b]

Will be making this for Father's day. I sub the Italian Dressing mix for my own mixture of italian spices, garlic, Salt and pepper. I will also sub the mango for pineapple. I have made this numerous times. Used fresh corn, when in season. Really good, basic recipe. Also can add cooked rice (Brown or white)....

Where in the world are y'all finding good mangoes? I haven't found one in years.

Meryl, is Publix in NC yet? That's where I've been getting mine, delicious!

 

[meryl]

Marsha, no there's no Publix here - Harris Teeter is the main supermarket. You must be getting local

ones, yes?

 

[marsha-tbay]

Meryl, I just heard...if you have an Indian market near you, they sell them by the case at less $

This city doesn't offer much in the way of ethnic food markets, but there may be one somewhere. I'll

check it out. Thanks, Marsha!

Hope you enjoy it! It is very refreshing on a warm day. Also appreciate not having a mayo based

salad.

I could not find any. I ended up subbing with Pineapple. It was rather tasty.

I find the frozen mango chunks good? Also peaches are great in salsa?

 

[orchid]

Do you have a Bi-Lo? I know they were 89 cents each last week there.

 

[meryl]

Thanks, Nan, but I haven't found any good frozen ones here either - will keep looking.

I do this kind of salsa all the time and like you I use whatever fruit is

in season and available at that time. (Living in Saudi Arabia taught me how to adapt...LOL) Peaches, pineapple, mango, papaya etc. All work. A diced up jalapeno finds seems to find it's way in every time also. Just seems like the right thing to do. ;0) Soooo good on chicken burgers.
