Oh my, I just can’t get over how pretty this dish is! SO MUCH COLOR! This gorgeous and flavorful summer salad really brings it’s A-game to the table.
I’ve made this dish several times this summer and without fail I have been asked for the recipe. So here you have it friends. It’s one of my new faves too.
A little fruity, a little spicy and all kinds of amazing! Serve this salad over rice with green chili chicken or pulled pork. Pile it on top of fish tacos or rolled into burritos. So yum! It’s a great compliment to your BBQ or picnic dishes!
You can adjust the amount of heat by swapping out the mild, sweet bell peppers with some of their hotter cousins. Take your pick and experiment (with the peppers, not with your hot cousins). 😉

A colorful summer salad that is a little fruity, a little spicy and all kinds of amazing! A perfect compliment to BBQ chicken, pulled pork and more.
Ingredients
-
2 c cubed fresh mango
-
2 tsp. chili powder
-
1 tbsp. minced garlic
-
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
-
2 tbsp. fresh squeezed lime juice
-
1/4 c orange juice
-
2 large avocados (cubed)
-
2 tbsp. minced fresh cilantro leaves
-
1 c chopped peppers (I use sweet mini bells and add serranos or habaneros for a kick!)
-
1 c thawed frozen (or fresh if you got it!) sweet corn
-
1 can (16oz) black beans (drained and rinsed)
-
1 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Cut up all fruits and veggies. Toss mango, black beans, corn, peppers, and cilantro.
- Whisk together orange juice, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic, chili powder and salt.
- Pour over mango mix. Add avocado on top and gently toss to mix in dressing and avocado. (I put the avocado in last so that it isn\'t handled too much and doesn\'t get mushy)
