Black Bean Mango “Salsa” Dip is a dip that my friend April taught me how to make many moons ago. Usually, we were making it together, getting drunk on mojitos, and at some point graduating to sangria, ready to entertain a slew of peeps. Ahhh… the good old days. When we were all single (well, not married), childless, responsibility-free, and career-less. Drink, eat, play, drink, eat, play… all whilst lookin’ & feelin’ dope, and livin’ it up carefree. My liver (and probably my mind) is still in recovery. 😉 Over those 4 years in Oregon, I could write a trilogy – filled with stories that were scandalous, adventurous, dangerous, disastrous, fabulous, and utterly ridiculous. I’d wager that in my 37 years on this planet, I’ve done far more insane things than 90% of the population. Youth. I made it out alive. Sometimes, I’m amazed by that fact. 😉
Anyway, back to the Black Bean Mango “Salsa” Dip. So healthy, delicious, and it’s done in 5 minutes. I usually serve it during the summer when it’s warm, however, I also bust it out for soirees throughout the year to change it up from the “classic” appetizers. I had made this for a party at my madre’s house last summer and that is where the pic is from. I’ve been crazy busy this past week now that I’m back at work, so I was digging around in the archives for a food post. Voila! Enjoy!
This song always sounds like a scandal to me… and, I fucking love it. Lastly, I kinda fucking love her, too. 😉
