Mango & Black Bean Salad

This recipe was given to me at a bridal shower by Jennifer Adolph, a cousin of Justin's. I have made it countless times & tweaked it only slightly - it is phenomenal! I must admit that I was skeptical but it makes the perfect addition to lunch or a potluck. For those of us on our yearly post-New Year's diet, this recipe is perfect.

Ingredients:

2 lg ripe mangoes

1 clove garlic

2 tsp olive oil

1 cup corn kernels

1 15-oz can black beans, rinsed

1/2 cup chopped red onion (green onion also works)

1/2 cup diced red pepper

3 tbsp fresh lime juice (important!)

2 tbsp fresh cilantro

1/2 tsp cumin

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a saucepan. Add garlic & stir in corn till brown (about 7 min)

2. Once corn has cooled, stir into rest of ingredients & mix well.

3. Best if chilled in fridge overnight.
