This black bean-mango salsa has two major things going for it right off the bat: It takes just minutes to prep and it keeps well in the fridge. Besides, the base makes it a nutritional powerhouse, since black beans are an overlooked source of plant-based protein, minerals, and fiber (at eight grams of fiber per half-cup). Scoop up this flavorful salsa with tortilla chips, whole-grain crackers, or just a spoon! Each serving will provide around six grams of fiber.
