Spicy Mango and Black Bean Summer Salad
Mango season is slowly coming to its end :( Though you still can find some mangoes out of season, they just don't taste the same! Time for other fruits to appear on the market. Kinda forgot when the soursop season starts but just love those fruits. I might even say it is the best tropical fruit in the world.
Tough berries still rock my fruit world! Soursop definitely comes on number two, even though we don't get to eat them very often! have you ever tried it before? It's like the vegan natural yogurt. Soft, creamy and super delicious!
Ingredients (serves 2)
3/4 cup cooked black beans
1.5 cup diced mango
1 jalapeno pepper (or Thai pepper or chili paste), minced
1/2 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
1 cup cucumber, chopped
1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro (parsley or basil works too if you don't like cilantro)
2 cups salad green of your choice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lime, juice only
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Toss to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasonings (lime, black pepper) if needed.
Enjoy!

Looks delicious, the cilantro sealed the deal for me. Cheers
Hehe, thanks for your comment! Made two separate ones. I love cilantro, but my hubby thinks it tastes like soap. Enjoy the rest of your day!
YUM! You are so right... out-of-season mangoes just aren't the same. The juicy summer ones are like CANDY. So good.
Hehe, summer all year round here! But only one mango season :( Thanks for dropping by @sharingeverybite
Yum! I am a huge fan of black beans. And pairing them with mangoes sounds interesting, but good!
Same here! Thay are the best! Thanks for your comment @uglysweater!
oh my. this seems like this could be my go to lunch dish. I love mangoes more than i'd like to admit. :)
Hehe. Same here! So sad the season is over :(
I know. :( It's too short of a season.
don't make me hungry it is getting too late to eat here.. sounds delicious :)
Hehe! Morning here ;)
It's very tragic that mango season is coming to an end - I looove this fruit so much because you can do so many different things with it. Love this recipe, thanks so much ♥
My pleasure! Have you tried the soursop! By far my most fav fruit. It's like vegan yogurt! Soft and creamy!
Is that the one with the many seeds inside? I like it a lot, but my favourite is jackfruit ♥
Ooooh! Yum!
