This is such a refreshing salsa. It’s in a whole other category than tomato-based salsas. So there is really no reason for comparison. I love the texture and that you have to chew it. It’s sweet, tangy and has a bite from the onion.
This is great in sandwiches, on meat or salads and as a side. I love it in lettuce wraps with my tuna salad.

Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangos but not too squishy
- 1 red pepper
- 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 red onion
- 1 box frozen shoepeg corn
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 packet of Good Seasons Zesty Italian Dressing mix
Tips
You can use any color pepper (except green) or onion, but mixing colors is what gives beauty to the dish. If you care.
If mangos aren’t available, you can use peaches. Strawberries might also be really good.
A little onion goes a long way. You might want to add less than you think, mix and taste until its the right balance for you.
Directions
Chop the pepper, mango and onion. You want small enough pieces for mixing and salsa chip-dip pleasure.
Toss them into a large bowl and add the shoepeg corn and black beans.
Stir around and it sit out until the shoepeg corn is completely thawed.
Measure your lime juice out in a measuring cup.
Add the seasoning packet, mix and pour over bowl full of goodies.
Chop and add cilantro.
Serve with chips or as a side/topping for whatever.
