Tips on Black Bean Mango Salsa
Fresh mango is important in this recipe. Do not substitute frozen or canned mango. If you don't have a mango on hand, just leave it out and make black bean salsa.
Sure! Fresh squeezed lime is delicious, but feel free to use bottled lime juice if that's what you have.
Absolutely, but you will need to cook it a little bit first. Use 2 ears of fresh corn for the frozen corn. Cut the fresh corn off the cob and place in a small pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. Immediately drain and rise the corn with cold water before using in the salsa.
If you must, you can skip the chill time on this recipe, but I promise it's better when you let the flavors mingle in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Yes! This salsa can be made up to 48 hours ahead of time and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Be sure to give it a good stir before serving.

Add some cooked quinoa & you have even more protein. Use as a meatless meal.

Absolutely! That would be delicious!

This is awesome! I often make regular black bean salsa , but had not tried it with mango. Loved your recipe, which is just a little different than my regular one (beyond the addition of mango). I did add a half a finely minced jalapeño, because we like the heat. Sweet mango and spicy jalapeño paired really well.

Can you use the canned Rotel tomatoes with the green Chile's in it
Katy McAvoy
You could use canned tomatoes in place of the fresh tomatoes, though I'd drain them well first.
