Your new (cheese-free) Tex-Mex favorite
Tex-Mex doesn’t always have to mean globs of queso on everything! This salad provides all of the flavors of a Tex-Mex favorite, without all of the calories. The avocado provides satisfying fat, the fiber comes from the black beans while the mango provides subtle sweetness.
