Recently I made a happy little find at Trader Joe\u2019s! \u00a0These Chile-Lime Chicken Burgers. They were nicely priced at $3.49 for a 16 ounce package of four burgers. They are made with all-natural ingredients, no preservatives…and are high in protein, low in fat. All which fit right in here with our healthy but oh-so-yummy POV! Do you have a Trader Joe\u2019s near to you? If you haven\u2019t shopped there yet, I would heartily encourage you to give them a try! We are always satisfied with our purchases at Trader Joe\u2019s…and will pick up another package or two of these on our next shopping trip.<\/p>\n

So, these made for a quick meal as they grilled up in approximately\u00a0ten minutes. But, what to serve with them…this was my question. Hmmmmm….something quick, healthy, fresh…? \u00a0I googled \u2018…lime, mango, salad…\u2019 and was presented with quite a list and variety of choices. After reading a few recipes, I had a pretty good idea and a plan of action. We were quite satisfied with the burgers and this Black Bean, Corn, and Mango salad with Honey-Lime Vinaigrette<\/strong>\u00a0to accompany the burgers. This makes quite a large bowlful (I\u2019d venture to say 9-10 cups or so). So consider making this as a side dish to bring along to a BBQ this summer. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
