You’ll love this mango black bean salad for its delicious flavors and practicality – you’ll have it done in 20 minutes if you already have your refried beans ready! This is the first recipe of my back-to-school special video “healthy lunchbox ideas”. If you’re more of a visual person, here’s the video!
For this recipe you’ll need:
Sweet corn – if canned, drained.
Refried black beans – find my recipe for refried black beans here.
Red bell pepper – or any other color you enjoy or have on hand. Did you know that one cup of chopped red bell pepper provides three times the vitamin C in an orange?
Onion – I think red onion works best in this recipe, but white onion also works well.
Mango – ripe, for a burst of sweetness and extra vitamin C.
Fresh coriander or parsley – what’s a salad without some fresh aromatic herbs?
Lime wedges.
Avocado slices.
