Preparation

Prep Ready In

20m 20m

  1. In a large bowl combine beans, papaya, mango, orange, and red onion. In a small bowl whisk together orange juice, olive oil, snipped cilantro, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and, if desired, cayenne pepper. Spoon orange juice mixture over bean mixture; toss to combine. Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 24 hours.

  2. To serve, spoon salsa into baked scoop chips. If desired, garnish cups with fresh cilantro or parsley leaves.


Tip: Section and chop the orange over a shallow dish; you should be able to reserve the juice for the 2 tablespoons needed in the recipe.
