It is FINALLY that time of year!! I feel like we have been waiting forever! Time to live outdoors! Well, not entirely but at least during the day. Time to have family, friends, and the neighbors over for cookouts! Time to bring a dish to pass at the block party and lake! Time to ooh & aah all the ladies with your culinary skills! Time to stock up on the Dei Fratelli!!
This is one of my favorite recipes, it is literally like your taste buds are transporting you to the beaches of Cabo San Lucas…you can almost feel the sand between my toes (I have been there once and the food was unbelievable, fresh, authentic, mouthwatering delicious)
Mango & Black Bean Salad:
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 can of Dei Fratelli Chopped Mexican Tomatoes & Jalapenos (do NOT drain…the peppers, cilantro, onion, garlic, vinegar, and salt that is in the can will be the dressing…less work for you…thank you Dei Fratelli)
1-1/2 cups chopped Mangos (frozen or fresh)
2 Tablespoons Avocado oil
Optional: add 1 avocado sliced & mix with other ingredients
Serve with a small side dish of Greek Yogurt (taste just like sour cream) for guest to place on top
Directions:
Pour all contents into bowl and mix.
Refrigerate for a few hours before you serve, best if served cold. Don’t have a few hours? Then use frozen mangoes…I have a big bag of organic frozen mango slices for this very reason…well, they also taste amazing as a sorbet and/or smoothies)
And Enjoy!!
Cheers to many backyard gatherings this season!!
