Store: Refrigerate covered for up to 24 hours.
Make Ahead: Refrigerate without olive oil, lime juice and salt for up to 24 hours, and then add before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to drain and rinse canned beans with cold water. You do not want the gooey liquid in a salad.
- The "healthiest" canned beans are low sodium, organic and in BPA free cans.
- I used unsalted sodium black beans, so adjust salt to taste if using regular.
- Avoid buying very soft mango for salad as it will become a mush.
- My favourite are Ataulfo (champagne) mangoes that are smaller and sweeter than "regular" Tommy Atkins mango.
- You can add one diced avocado. Just like with mango, use ripe but firm fruit. And remember it browns easily, so add before serving.
- To thaw frozen corn, run it under warm water in a colander and then drain.
