This vibrant Avocado, Mango & Black Bean Salad is a delicious combination of sweet, creamy, and zesty flavours. Packed with wholesome ingredients, it makes a refreshing and nutritious meal that’s perfect for lunch, a light dinner, or as a side dish. The black beans add plant-based protein and fibre, while the mango and avocado bring a luscious texture. Tossed in a simple lime dressing, this salad is both easy to prepare and bursting with goodness.

Avocado, Mango & Black Bean Salad: Fresh and Colourful

Fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavour, this avocado, mango & black bean salad is a delicious combination of sweet, savoury, and zesty notes. With a wonderful balance of creamy avocado, juicy mango, and protein-rich black beans, it makes for a nutritious and satisfying dish. I love pairing it with crispy tortilla chips for extra crunch, but it also works beautifully as a topping for tacos or a filling for wraps.

Inspired by Mexican flavours, this salad is both refreshing and comforting. It’s perfect in the depths of winter when you need a splash of colour and brightness on your plate, or as a cooling dish in the summer heat. The combination of fresh ingredients and a zesty lime dressing makes every bite a delight.

This salad is incredibly versatile—serve it as a hearty lunch, a vibrant side dish, or as part of a larger spread for buffets and barbecues. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but any leftovers can be packed up for a healthy and delicious lunch the next day. Serve with plenty of lime juice and coriander for an extra burst of flavour.

Why You Will Love This Recipe

  • Bursting with Flavours: The combination of creamy avocado, sweet mango, and hearty black beans creates a tasty medley of flavours and textures.
