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.
