Notes
Prep ahead tips
When not including the avocado, this Mango Black Bean Salsa can be made up to 3-4 days when stored properly in an airtight container in the fridge.
If you plan on including avocado, I recommend adding it in within an hour of serving to prevent it from going brown. The lime juice will also help combat it from going brown but I still find it is best enjoyed fresh! Remember the avocado is totally optional.
