Notes
- To adjust the heat: Simply adjust the amount of red pepper flakes added.
- Don’t skip the ‘resting’ time: Allow the mango side dish at least an hour to marinate as this will allow all the flavors to meld, which is what takes this simple black bean salad with mango to new heights of tastiness.
- Top tip for low budgets: Using dried beans is more inexpensive than canned. Cook up a massive batch in one go and store the excess in the freezer for several months. That way, you always have some handy when needed.
