Corn, Black Bean, and Mango Salad
Happy Monday, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I know Monday came very quickly here and I was surprised to flip the calendar over to May 1st today, which made me think of all the things I love about this month! Of course, one of them is Cinco de Mayo as it is an excuse to sip on margaritas and cook our favorite Mexican foods to celebrate. Today I am sharing a favorite recipe for the holiday: Corn, Black Bean, and Mango Salad. It is a quick, easy, & versatile dish that is healthy and delicious. This corn, black bean, and mango salad can be served in many different ways. I prefer it by itself over a bed of greens. My kids like to roll it up in warm tortillas with a sprinkle of cheese. It is also a great salad to take to parties and serve with corn chips.
