Рецепт Jicama, Black Bean & Corn Salsa Recipe
Jicama, Black Bean & Corn Salsa Recipe
Whip up this jicama, black bean and corn salsa for a healthy, low calorie snack or serve it over grilled chicken or fish for an awesome meal!
As much as I love hummus and veggies, there’s only so much that one gal can eat. Afternoon is snacking and grazing time and I need to spice things up a little, otherwise I start thinking that a bag of puffy Cheetos is a good idea.
This easy, healthy salsa is going straight onto my list of 50 Healthy Snacks (100 Calories or Less). With only 40 calories per 1/3 cup serving, I figure I can eat a couple of helpings without going overboard.
I love scooping it up with Trader Joe’s quinoa & black bean tortilla chips (seen in the photos…we can not stop eating them), but use whatever chips or crackers that appeal to you.
Both the jicama and corn bring a natural sweetness to this salsa, so I just added a drop or two of agave nectar to round out the tanginess of the fresh lime juice.
And this salsa over chicken or fish? Oh yeah…it just doesn’t get any better.
