Simple Mango Salsa

A quick and simple way to make mango salsa.

It's perfect for chips or over fish.

Tonight I choose to eat it with chips.

What you'll need.

2 ripe mangos

2 ripe avocados

Half a red onion
Half a jalapeño
1 can of black beans
Juice of a fresh lemon
Salt & Pepper
*2 tablespoon Champagne vinegar or a red wine vinegar.
(I used Trader Joe's Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar)

Dice the mangos, avocados (mine ended up not being ripe so you won't see it in the final pic), and the red onion.

Then drain & rinse in cold water the black beans.

Remove the seeds from the jalapeño and dice it.
Of course if you like your salsa spicy with a kick then use the whole jalapeño rather than half.

And remember when handling jalapeños - DO NOT RUB YOUR EYES AFTERWARDS!

Put everything in a bowl.

Squeeze lemon juice over diced avocados - this will help them stop from browning.

Add avocado & diced mangoes to the black bean, red onion and jalapeño mixture.

Mix everything up and serve.

*Story of the missing avocado from my salsa. I bought these avocados 4 weeks ago!!!

You would think they are ripe by now, but sadly, NO!

Not sure why these avocados haven't ripened.

They were hard on the inside when I cut into them each week - as well as tonight.

The trick to getting avocados to ripen quickly is to place them in the sun.

But since we've been having some gloomy weather lately, I haven't had any sun to use.

But this recipe WITH avocado is even more delicious.

So if you do try this recipe I hope you are able to add avocados. :)

Mmmm yummy!
