Here is my recipe:
Black Bean-Mango Salad
Serves 4, Calories Per Serving = 219
Ingredients
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced
½ cup Italian dressing, any kind you like (use fat-free or low-cal)
Two 15-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup chopped red onions
1 small green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small red pepper, seeded and chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
In a food processor or blender, take ¼ cup of the mango with the Italian dressing until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining mango with the beans, red onions, and peppers. To the bean mixture, add the mango puree.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, and chill until ready to serve.
I make this most often on Sundays, so we'll have a healthy option for lunch at work or a quick dinner on game nights.
For a complete meal for the family, I’ll simply pair it with either a roasted chicken or some fish to make it a heartier meal. But I normally just eat it plain or over romaine lettuce. (It's even better the next day.) Enjoy!0 -

Sounds great! Adding it to the document!0 -
wow, the soup sounds pretty good - and I love creamy potato soup!!
A few questions:
1. can I add other stuff? (celery, carrots, etc) and when would I add them (with potato?)
2. Does this soup freeze? DH won't eat soup, but if I can freeze it, that would be great for quick lunches...
3. I don't do well with "cups" of stuff - how many potatoes makes 2 cups? 4 cups?
Thanks!! This is perfect for the colder weather coming in now.
1. I think it would be fine to add celery or whatever - I would add with the potatoes so they soften.
2. I don't know how well it would freeze - I've always heard that freezing dairy products changes the texture, so I've never tried it. Also, we love this soup so we eat the leftovers really quick.
3. I don't know how many potatoes I use. I peel and chop them and then throw them in my 4 cup measuring cup until it's full. It depends on the size of your potatoes, but I would say approx 1 large potato = 3/4-1 cup chopped.0 -
I'm making my meal plan tomorrow and both of these recipes will be included0

Please add me...this sounds great!0

The salsa sounds interesting - I don't think we'll be making it though, since I don't like mango and DH doesn't like black beans ;-)
But thanks for the idea, it would be a great fall transition food!0 -

This is my favorite soup recipe. We make it at least once a month.
Cream Cheese Potato Soup
Serves 4
4 cups chicken broth
4 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (I use black pepper)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese, cut into chunks
Combine broth, potatoes, onion, and spices. Boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender. Smash a few potatoes to release their starch for thickening. Reduce to low heat. Add cream cheese. Heat, stirring frequently, until cheese melts.0 -

I made this salad tonight to accompany parmesan tilapia and brown rice. I added about a few sprigs of cilantro and I thought it was really yummy. I also used orange and yellow peppers because there was a tray of pre-cut peppers of all colors for sale in the produce section. My husband thought it tasted summery.. and that's a good thing. I hope to make the potato soup tomorrow! I've never posted a picture on a forum, so I hope this works.
