Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and healthy bowl combining creamy avocado, sweet mango, and hearty black beans with a zesty lime dressing. Perfect for a nourishing meal that celebrates fresh, simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked black beans (or one 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 medium ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium avocado, peeled and diced
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (optional)
  • Toasted pepitas for crunch (optional)

Instructions

  1. If using canned beans, drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water. If cooking dried beans, soak overnight and simmer until tender but firm (about 1 to 1.5 hours). Drain well and set aside.
  2. Peel the mango carefully, slice the flesh away from the pit, and cut into bite-sized cubes about ½ inch.
  3. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and dice into cubes similar in size to the mango. Handle gently to avoid bruising.
  4. In a medium bowl, squeeze the juice of one fresh lime. Add a pinch of sea salt if using and whisk briefly to combine.
  5. Add the black beans to the lime juice, tossing gently to coat. Fold in the diced mango and avocado. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and toss lightly. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as desired.
  6. Transfer the mixture into serving bowls. Optionally, drizzle extra virgin olive oil on top or sprinkle with toasted pepitas for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm mango and avocado to avoid mushy texture. Rinse canned beans well to reduce sodium and canned flavor. Keep avocado and mango separate from beans and lime juice until just before serving to prevent browning. Optionally add grains or protein for a more filling meal. Toasted pepitas add a nice crunch.
