The Bean Scene

Black Bean & Corn Salad

with mangos and avocados

SOUND BITE

Though this colorful salad looks and tastes like summer, you’ll enjoy it all year round as a delicious, filling, vegetarian lunch or a wildly popular side dish for family gatherings. I’d rank it in my Top 10 favorite salad recipes of all time and I’m certain I can make it with my eyes closed. (Do not attempt this at home.)
