Edamame Mango Salad

Recipe Features

  • high in protein – thanks to the edamame and black beans this simple salad is a good source of plant-based protein
  • picnic-friendly – this salad keeps well if kept cool so it’s perfect to pack along to picnics, potlucks and BBQs
  • quick and easy – you’ll need just 10 minutes to open a can of beans, chop some fruit and veggies and mix it all up

Ingredient Notes

Various labelled ingredients for a mango edamame salad in bowls on a counter.
  • edamame – I recommend frozen shelled edamame
  • mango – any kind of mango works but you want it to be firm so make sure it’s not overripe, even slightly underripe works
  • black beans – canned or cooked from scratch both work fine
  • corn – fresh, frozen or canned all work

Note: The specific amounts and the rest of the ingredients are listed in the recipe card below.

Tips and FAQs

  • If you don’t have red wine vinegar, white or apple cider vinegar are both suitable.
  • Lime works in place of lemon.
  • Chickpeas are a nice alternative to black beans.

Description

This protein and vitamin-packed tangy salad is perfect for hot, summer days when the last thing you want to do is turn on the oven. Easy to make, high in plant-based protein and fibre, low in fat, filing, fresh and flavourful!

Ingredients

  • 500 g (about 2 cups) edamame, cooked, drained
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 3 small mangos, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium red onion, diced
  • 1 19-oz can black beans, drained, well-rinsed (2 cups)
  • 350 mL can corn, drained, well-rinsed
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1–2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
  • up to 1 whole diced avocado for topping, optional

Instructions

  1. Cook the edamame according to package instructions then rinse under cold water until cooled.
  2. Add all the chopped ingredients to a large bowl.
  3. Add in the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and lemon and mix.
  4. Serve right away topped with diced avocado.

Notes

The salad is best served fresh but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You want the mango to be firm, not mushy, so do your best to choose perfectly ripe or slightly underripe versus overripe mango.

This makes quite a large serving so feel free to cut the recipe in half if you don’t be able to eat it within a couple of days. Amounts don’t need to be exact!
