A Hearty Salad for Lunch or Dinner

Vibrant color, flavor, texture and so hearty!

During the warmest of days, salads for lunch and dinner are made weekly around here. Too, I love having them on the ready should a picnic kind of mood strike. For this salad, there’s only a bit of cooking involved, and if needed, any of the cooked components can be made ahead during a meal prep sesh so it’s easy to pull together when dinner time comes. 

This Mango Black Bean Salad is simple to make, packed with good for us ingredients that are filling and so satisfying.  Suitable for a variety of diets, it’s vegetarian, vegan and gluten free which makes it easy to share. 

There’s plenty going on in this salad to make mouths happy and tummies full.

How to Make Quinoa Mango Black Bean Salad

Use canned or homemade cooked black beans in this salad, whatever fits your schedule. Look for ripe mangos and avocados that give just a bit when their skin is gently pressed. They need to be softish, yet still firm. In summary, here’s how to make the salad (see recipe card for full recipe): 

  • First, put the quinoa on to cook. When done, transfer to the fridge to chill. 
  • Second, toss the pepitas with salt, paprika and olive oil, then toast in the oven. 
  • Meanwhile, chop the spinach, onion, cilantro and dice the mango. 
  • Next, make the chipotle lime vinaigrette in a food processor. 
  • Last, put all the ingredients together, toss and top with sliced avocado. 

If making ahead, hold out the avocados and add just before serving. Otherwise they tend to brown a bit.

How to Cut that Mango?

I’ve struggled with knowing how to cut a mango. So I did a bit of searching for mango kitchen hacks and found a video on YouTube that shows several mango cutting techniques.  My world will never be the same! Finding it easier to get to the good stuff, I’m enjoying mangos more often.

With my newfound knowledge of mango cutting, a batch of homemade black beans and fresh spinach from the Farmer’s Market, this salad was next on my agenda.

A Few Recipe Notes

  • This salad’s flavor improves with a bit of time. If holding the salad in the fridge before serving, add the avocado just before sharing as it tends to brown a bit otherwise. 
  • The chipotle lime vinaigrette calls for chipotle chilis in adobo sauce. Look for cans on the Mexican food isle of your grocery store, gluten free if needed. It’ll last for weeks in the fridge, and store for months in the freezer. Use your leftovers in Vegan Black Bean Dip or easy Mexican salsa. 
  • For meal prep, the quinoa can be made up to two days in advance, and the toasted pepitas, up to a week in advance. Cook Black Beans from scratch up to a week in advance and freeze. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

Quinoa Mango Black Bean Salad with Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette Recipe

Author:Traci York | Vanilla And Bean
Sweet and spicy with a little bit of smoky come together in this flavor and texture-packed salad. A delicious addition to a picnic or potluck but also makes a hearty summer dinner salad. This recipe is vegetarian, vegan and gluten free.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1 C (195g) Quinoa rinsed under running water
  • 1 3/4 C (420g) Water
  • 1/2 C (70g) Pepitas
  • 1/2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp + 1/8 tsp Fine Sea Salt divided
  • 1/4 tsp Smoky Paprika
  • 1 3/4 C (300g) Cooked Black Beans rinsed, drained, about one 15 oz can
  • 3/4 C (70g) Purple/Red Onion small diced, about 1/2 an onion
  • 2 C (330g) Mangos diced, about one mango* (see note)
  • 2 C (90g) Baby Spinach chopped and packed
  • 4 Tbs Cilantro finely chopped
  • 2 Avocados diced just before serving

For The Dressing (makes 1/2 C):

  • 1/2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Chipotle Pepper in adobo sauce** gluten free if needed
  • 2 tsp Adobo Sauce
  • 2 Tbs Lime Juice fresh squeezed, about two limes + more for serving
  • 1/4 tsp fine Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 15 Stems of Fresh Cilantro leafless stem part removed
  • 1/4 C (50g) Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

For the Salad:

  • In a small saucepan, bring quinoa and water to a boil, turn to low and simmer uncovered for 13-14 minutes. Remove from heat, stir, cover and let set for 5 minutes.
    The quinoa is ready when all the water is absorbed, and the quinoa is tender with it's 'tails' showing. Remove lid and place in refrigerator while the rest of the salad is being prepared.
  • Preheat oven to 325F (163C). Toss pepitas with olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt and paprika. Toast pepitas for about 8-9 minutes. They'll be slightly golden and fragrant when ready. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl combine the chilled quinoa, beans, onion, mango* (see note), spinach, cilantro, pepitas and the remaining 1/4 + 1/8 tsp salt. Set aside.

For the Dressing:

  • In a food processor, combine the apple cider vinegar, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, cumin and cilantro. With the processor on, pour in the olive oil. Process until smooth. Set aside.

To Assemble:

  • If time is available, dress the salad about an hour before service. The flavors will come together as it sets in the fridge.
    Drizzle 3/4 of the dressing over the salad and toss well. Taste to see if more dressing is desired and adjust as needed. Add a few twists of fresh ground pepper and adjust salt as needed.
  • Just before serving, dice the avocado and gently toss into the salad. Store the salad in a lidded container for up to two days in the refrigerator. Longer and the mango tends to get a bit soggy.

Notes

*MANGO NOTE: If making ahead, and depending on how ripe your mango is you can add it or hold it out. If your mango is soft, wait and add it with the avocado. If your mango is on the firmer side, add it with everything else. 
**Find chipotle pepper in adobo sauce in the Mexican food section of the grocery store. Store leftover chipotle pepper in adobo sauce in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to one month.

    With 1/2 a can of black beans and 1/2 a mango I came to my new favorite blog looking for a Summer salad to make. This recipe jumped out at me. I had all the ingredients except the Chipotle Chilies so I replaced them with pimento, Chipotle Chili Powder and some smoked paprika. It turned out great…another keeper!

    I make your recipes at least 4 times per week and rotate them in and out during the year. This one is a knockout (as usual) because of the incredibly different flavor profile of the sauce. It’s unlike any vegetarian recipe I’ve ever had. Yum! Will be making again and again!

    6 servings is correct, but the prep time took longer. I made the quinoa a day ahead.

      SO happy to hear, Julie! Thank you for your note and giving the recipe a go! Prep time is such a challenge for me to reflect given individual experience/efficiencies in the kitchen. With this recipe I find there’s overlap in cooking and prep, so total time is more accurate than prep time alone. I hope this makes sense.

    This was fabulous! I just finished the last of it for lunch after having it for lunch yesterday and serving it for dinner the night before. I had to half the recipe becuase there are only two of us but couldn’t leave half of a perfectly ripe mango so I put the whole thing in. I also made a full batch of the dressing and pepitas to have extra for other uses. Thank you for posting this.

    Best. Salad. Ever.

    With only 3 in the house I initially thought that I’d cut back on quantity but in the end made according to the recipe. Will make a few tweaks next time (prefer more chipotle) but the mix of flavours and textures is top notch.

    Had to fight the others off for seconds and lunch is sorted for tomorrow now as well.

    I’ve had this on my to-make list for quite a while and just got to. It was so good!! I added a small clove of garlic to the dressing, something about cilantro and lime always makes me want garlic too. Next time I’ll try adding cojita to the finished salad, but I’m all for cheese! I also had to make a couple slight tweaks due to what was in my pantry, I only had red quinoa which worked, but I’d use regular if I had the choice, it was a little more dominant of a flavor with red. I also had roasted and salted pepitas in my pantry, so I just dry roasted them in frying pan with the smoked paprika and that worked great, was quick and kept my kitchen cooler.
    This was my first recipe off of your blog and I’ll definitely be back for more!!

    This recipe is about using the best ingredients. I made & enjoyed the salad last night. However, the mangoes weren’t very good. Next time I’ll sub whichever fruit is the best…strawberries would have been great…in season & superfresh.

    I finally got around to making this…what had enticed me were all the healthy ingredients, plus the spiced pepitas (which I’ve become addicted to)! But, I ran out of mangoes couple days ago, which I’d been buying every week for the last few months. Go figure! So, I subbed by using apples instead. Wow, so delicious!! I can only imagine it would be equally, if not more, delicious with the mangoes (which I’d had my heart set on)! No worries…I’ll definitely be making this salad often, plus my weekly shopping day is tomorrow to get the mangoes. Thanks for sharing the delicious recipe.

    Hi Traci!
    As always, your photographs are inspiring – I genuinely get the peaceful feeling just looking at them! Now the pics of this salad, this has brought on stomach rumbles and the distinct feeling of “I NEED this salad NOW!”

    I do have one quick question, though. As with a lot of ingredients in recipes, my remote arctic grocery store does not carry extensive products (the produce section is as big as a large sofa). I do have frozen mango chunks (which have become MY favourite way of cutting up a mango! LOL) and was wondering if I dried them really well once they are thawed, would they work in this salad? Fresh cilantro – or any herb, to be honest, is also something we will never get, so I am going to add a bit of freeze-dried to the dressing to help infuse the flavours.

    What is your opinion on the frozen mango? This salad just looks far too good to just dismiss because I have to get creative. Thx! Chris

      Hi Chris! So nice to hear from you and thank you for your kind comments! :D Use those frozen mango chunks. Thaw them in a colander, so the moisture will drain off a bit and then toss them in just before serving. It’ll be fine. Freeze-dried herbs to the dressing is smart… it will add to the deliciousness for sure. I hope you enjoy it and good for you being creative and diligent! Thank you for writing! :D

    Good Morning! I have a question about packing this for a picnic- we’re taking our daughter down to college in Georgia in a couple of weeks, and it’s a 12 hour drive for us. This looks perfect lunch for us – make the night before and eat it on the road, but I have a question regarding the mangoes- do they keep well for that long in the salad? Or should I cut them just before serving when I cut up the avocado? Thank you!!!

      Hi Bettina! Oh what an event! A picnic will be a fabulous addition to your long trip. For this salad, I would hold the mango out and add it with the avocado. After an overnight rest and start to a road trip, I’m afraid the salad would be a bit soggy.. still good, but not quite as fresh! Wishing you and your family fun during this transition. Thank you for writing! :D

    Your vacation sounded like it was so serene and peaceful – I love the mountain pictures too! I was caught up in their beauty just reading through your post! I’m also caught up with this salad – the smoky pepitas and mango sound like a heavenly combo (also – I love that mango cutting trick!). Adding this to the menu soon!

    This salad is so divine! Every single ingredient hits my flavour spot right on and I can’t wait for mangos to be back in season to make this salad exactly as it is! For now, I’ll have to sub in some bell pepper instead.
    My favourite inner-peace place is always by the water. Whether our local harbour or the coastal spot we visit every Christmas, just take me to the water and the stress of the world melts away.

    Traci, I have missed so many amazing posts from you during my move! Now I get to enjoy them all at once :) First, your morning hike sounds absolutely amazing (save for the drunks!), and what gorgeous images you captured! I have been to Seattle and quickly fell in love with the city, but my husband and I are itching to get back to see more of your beautiful state. I’ve also done a hike at dawn – in Sedona, AZ – and it was an incredible experience too. Just as the sun came up, a coyote family started calling to one another across the desert. It was the most beautiful sound!

    Onto this salad – where do I begin? I actually had a mango and black bean salad recently in SF, and vowed to recreate something similar at home. Now I have inspiration from your dish, too! You have done such a fantastic job pairing so many great flavors and textures together. I think my favorite element has to be those pepitas! I’m just now getting settled into our new kitchen, so thank you for the motivation, my friend :)

And that the coyotes started calling.. that must have been a spiritual experience. I think I would have melted.

      Yup – the pepitas. Incredible. I want to roast up a pound and just snack on em’. They’re sooo good! Can’t wait to see what you whip up in your new kitchen! I’m anticipating a new post soon! :D

    Also yes, cookies do provide stamina. *nods head seriously* ahem, yup.

    and WOW those photos are gorgeous. It looks so incredibly serene…forget spa day, I need to take a trip up where you live <3

    As for your quinoa salad…I don't think there's any other way I want to eat quinoa now. Actually, I think I'd probably forget I'm even eating quinoa because there's so many other yummy things in this salad. I love the sort of Mexican fusion you've got going on here, and adobe sauce? Yes, please! Thanks for making me hungry again, Traci!! Gorgeous gorgeous food here, lady! <3
