    Summer Corn, Pineapple and Black Bean Salsa

    Summer Corn, Pineapple and Black Bean Salsa. Vegan & Gluten Free. Super fresh, chunky, healthy and crunchy. SO simple to make. and very versatile, can be eaten many different ways! From The Glowing Fridge #salsa #summer #addicting

    Salsa? Salad? Cowboy Caviar?

    How about all of the above?!

    Go either way with this totally addicting fresh and crunchy Summer Corn, Pineapple and Black Bean Salsa. 

    You can:

    • scoop it with tortilla chips or pita bread
    • wrap in a tortilla with romaine and my perfect guacamole
    • serve it warm over brown rice (with extra lime and guac!)
    • eat it cold and plain with a spoon or in a bowl (with cubed avocado)

    The possibilities are endless. It’s nice to have a big bowl of this in the fridge throughout the week for easy lunches, quick weeknight meals or even a make-ahead appetizer. You can use it in so many ways! This is the kind of recipe that gets better by the next day (kinda like my Spicy Kale & Quinoa Black Bean Salad). Also pairs amazing as a side to my Roasted Cauliflower Tacos. YUM!

    Those flavors though!! And that chunky texture…

    I helped my mom make this a few weekends back and we both fell in love. This fiesta-in-a-bowl has it all! Sweet summer corn, fresh pineapple, juicy tomatoes, crunchy celery, black beans, white beans, optional jalape?o for a spicy kick, cilantro, spices and LOTS of fresh lime juice. Mix it all up for a versatile, SUPER simple, delicious recipe that couldn’t be easier. While I prefer this salsa as is, rather than cooking it, my mom wrapped it in foil then my dad grilled it for 5 minutes (steamed it, basically) but you can also warm it up over the stove and mix in brown rice for a complete meal. 

    Or leave it raw and fresh as I did!

    Since my mind must have been elsewhere, I forgot to add in green onions for the pictures even though I had them in the fridge! I do recommend adding these or a little chopped red onion for extra flavor. Totally optional though if you’re not an onion person.

      Hi Shannon. From one Shannon to another, thank you!. I made this over the weekend and it was fantastic. And it certainly does get better the longer it sits in the fridge. I am excited to try your other recipes.

      Thanks,

    & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP. It was super oily & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP.

It was super oily and greasy with buildup from past products. I was washing daily… and just unhappy with the dullness and lack of volume. That has since changed!

Aside from getting transformed hair, this opportunity allows motivated women to have another income source. It allows mamas to have the best of both worlds - their own income while raising their babies (if you’re in that phase of life). It provides social media training, so much guidance and support (you’re never doing it alone), earned confidence and most importantly, community. Some of my best friends are here now because we talk daily and know everything about each other’s lives! Surrounding yourself with like-minded successful women can turn your life around. I’m not kidding. You are who you surround yourself with. It’s more than just shampoo. 

All it takes is deciding YES and stepping out of your comfort zone.  Don’t let life pass you by. Stop wondering and start taking action! 🥂 

If you’re ready, DM me BIZ and let’s chat 💞

    what healing looks like 🌼🩷 I starts out my what healing looks like 🌼🩷

I starts out my morning with a bunch of supplements to eliminate parasites and bacteria and repair my gut while supporting my liver and gallbladder. Next I make a protein smoothie with vanilla whey protein powder and a custom supplement to support my deficiencies. And lastly my creamy dandy blend latte because I’m not drinking coffee right now.

This is what works for me right now! I also have gf toast usually from @awgbakery. I’ve had to eliminate so many things but it’s all for good reason, to reduce all the inflammation. I’m working with @lifelabwellnessco if you would like your own custom plan and testing 🙏🏼 should I share more videos like this?
