Mango and Black Bean Salad

This delicious and super simple dish is a great way of mixing up the classic sides of beans and rice.
By Amber Massey

Today I bring you a true recipe winner.  Even if fruit and rice paired together weirds you out in the slightest – I have faith you and your tastebuds would enjoy this. 

I found this recipe to not only be so super simple, but really delicious.  Such a unique way to mix up the classic sides of beans and rice. 

Plus, mango is everywhere at the moment.  This pumps me up beyond measure, mainly because I LOVE mango.  Here, the sweetness brightens the mixture of the beans and wild rice.

Canned beans are a great option for working protein and fiber into dishes. To keep sodium in check when using canned goods, organic is a good way to go.

So, I opted for organic no-salt-added beans.  If you can’t find this combo canned good, simply go for the regular and rinse and drain your beans to cut out about 40% of the salt used during canning.  40% is pretty, no, REALLY significant.  Its worth the rinse, folks.  Don’t stop at the beans, either.  You can rinse and drain any canned vegetable to reap this benefit.
