Fireworks Black Bean Salsa Recipe

 Monday, July 05, 2010

I posted my recipe for Fireworks Black Bean Salsa as part of the Top Anticancer Chef challenge.  

It contains lots of anticancer foods: black beans (high in fiber, protein), cherry tomatoes (vitamin A and lycopene), mango (beta carotene), turmeric (curcumin) and black pepper, ginger, onions, orange and lime juice (flavonoids) , and olive oil (healthy fat).  

Please vote for me!  Thanks to all your votes, I will be receiving a copy of Dr. David Servan-Schreiber's Anticancer A New Way of Life book. 

Fireworks Black Bean Salsa


1 can Black Beans
1/2 cup frozen Corn Kernels
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into 1/4" pieces
1 medium Mango, cut into 1/4" cubes
1/4 cup Cilantro, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Red Onion, finely chopped

Dressing Ingredients:
1 teaspoon fresh Ginger, minced
2 tablespoons fresh Lime Juice
2 tablespoons fresh Orange Juice
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Mix black beans, corn, tomatoes, mango, cilantro and red onion together in medium size bowl.  In a small bowl, mix dressing ingredients together. Pour dressing over bean mixture and toss.  Chill before serving.  Serve over whole grain pilaf or with baked tortilla chips.
