Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium mango (chopped)
  • 1 large red bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1 large tomato (chopped)
  • 1 cup frozen corn (thawed)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup red onion minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Prep your ingredients: Start by chopping your mango, tomato, and bell pepper into small, even pieces. Mince the red onion and chop the cilantro.
  2. Combine the salad: In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped mango, tomato, bell pepper, thawed corn, rinsed black beans, cilantro, and red onion.
  3. Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  4. Toss and serve: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together until the salad is fully coated. Serve immediately or chill first.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, let the salad sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
  • If you're making this ahead, wait to add the dressing until you're ready to serve.
  • Feel free to add a diced avocado for a creamy and delicious texture.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the salt, lime juice, and pepper flakes to match your personal taste.
