Avocado, Mango & Black Bean Salad

When I think about creating a salad, I always like to have a few star ingredients that make it enticing. In this case it’s the mango and avocado that create an explosion of flavour and texture in your mouth on a warm summer’s day. I can think of nothing more delicious than enjoying this outside on a sunny day in the middle of summer, with a cold glass of water or lemonade at lunch time. The black beans make it filling, while the other ingredients bring everything together.

For this yummy salad you’ll need:

• Iceberg lettuce

• Mango

• Avocados

• Tomatoes

• Black beans

• Red onion

• Coriander

• Sumac

• Lime

• Red chilli flakes

This recipe also tastes great with the final addition of:

• Tortilla chips (optional)

• A few wedges of lime

It’s as simple as chopping everything up and adding into a large bowl. I do the same trick with avocado as I do with mango when chopping – slice inside the skin and then scoop out with a spoon! It makes life a lot easier and less messy. Make sure to drain and rinse your black beans as well.

Toss everything in a large bowl and drizzle with my mango chutney yoghurt dip.
