We go to our friends’ cottage on Lake Michigan one weekend every year. They always throw a shindig when we're there, and their friend Kathy brought her super tasty Black Bean Mango Salsa. It’s got some unique ingredients that I think you’ll love. It is definitely a sweeter version of the more common black bean salsa, which is also one of my favorites because these type of dips are nutritious and delicious.
Don’t these pictures look fake?
I’m so geeked at how well they turned out! (That’s their new boat in the background that they got for a steal last year.)
Kathy’s Black Bean Mango Salsa
Ingredients
- Fresh mango – about 4 chopped
- 2-3 medium jalapeño peppers chopped small
- 1 small onion chopped small
- 2 cans black beans drained and rinsed
- 1/2 small can of crushed pineapple with juice
- 1 bunch cilantro chopped
- 1/4 cup pineapple rum optional, but this gives it good flavor
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Stir all the ingredients together and serve with organic tortilla chips.
Doesn’t that sound good?

I like your addition of the pineapple and will give that a try. I also use red onion and red, orange or yellow bell pepper (chopped) for additional color and taste. Beginning in August, I will be hosting Crock Pot Wednesdays and would live for you to join in @ diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. Thanks for sharing.
