This Easy Mango Black Bean Salad is great for a side dish or condiment!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! And maybe some of you are lucky enough to have today off too! Last week we re-did our kitchen and living room floor and as diy projects tend to do, it took much longer than expected.
It wasn’t too much of a mess and I did have access to the kitchen, but my in-laws were also visiting (and helping) so I didn’t have much time to cook this week. It was nice being out of the kitchen, but I started to miss home cooked food.
I didn’t have a lot of time this morning so I decided to make something really quick and easy and that requires no cooking at all. I’ve been wanting to make a mango black bean salad for a while now but I never could seem to find mangos that looked good.
Two things I have learned recently: I really love eating mangos and I really hate cutting them up. I feel like someone should have made the seed much smaller so I could enjoy more of the delicious fruit :). Or I just need to get better at cutting them!
This Easy Mango Black Bean Salad is perfect for a refreshing summer side dish and goes great on burgers, tacos and salads!

Mango is one of my top three favorite fruits, so I’m always adding it to things. I make a similar black bean mango salad, and you’re right this salad is really versatile. Love that you add red bell pepper to yours.
I couldn’t believe how good are mango and bean together :O Thanks Izzy!
So good!
I had a small dinner party outdoors on my deck and this salad stole the show! I loved it and so did my quest.
That’s great to hear! So glad everyone enjoyed it 🙂
