I have a three year old recipe for corn, mango, and bean salad on my blog with atrocious pics that I should update. Thanks for the reminder because your salad looks awesome, Jenna! Love the colors and mango is my total #1 fruit!

Once I discovered raw sweet corn straight off the cob I could never go back either. SO crunchy! One of my favorite salads is just spinach, raw sweet corn, and avocado – yum. Although, this salad could easily encroach its position – love this combination.

Fruity salsas are my fave on hot days too! Love the flavor combo here. Can’t believe you have an extreme heat advisory already (especially when there are wonky snowstorms in Colorado)!

This is so perfect for the summer!

wow! that salad looks amazing and i can’t wait to try it!!! i hate to ask a silly question but what is avacado toast (if its as simple as avacado spread on toast picture me embarrassed)
Reply
you got it! I like to sprinkle a bit of garlic salt or tajin seasoning on it! yummy!

Gahhh I love everything about this salad!! Big mixes of fresh fruits, veggies and protein are totally what I crave during the warm months too. I couldn’t agree more with you on the raw sweet corn thing – I think it was one of the recipes that you posted last summer that called for it, and I don’t think I’ve cooked my corn since!

I’m a raw corn fan, too!
Also, I need to make a salsa each week to just keep around during the summer.

Jenna I love this!! So fresh and so pretty! I am going crazy for mango right now, so I really need to make this!
Heat wave? Lucky! It is snowing here. I am SO tired of the snow! I want heat! LOL

This sounds fantastic.
So, most days I miss Nor Cal, but when you said “extreme heat advisory,” I looked out my window at the snow and smiled. So, thanks for that. Wanna come visit? I’ve got a guest room with your name on it
Feeling ok lately?

Mmm…I’m loving mangos lately and this salad is just so pretty and spring-like! So lovely.

You can eat sweet corn raw?! I never knew that! I totally have to try it sometime this summer when I make this delicious looking salad.

This salad looks amazing… mango, corn, & black beans… yum! Can’t wait to try it! I’m sure I’ll be making it all summer long!

Love all of those colors and fresh flavors! Sounds perfect for summer!

This is by far one of our favorite kind of dip/salads. Love the addition of the sweet mango!

AVOCADO TOAST IS AMAZING!! Recently I have been doing a twist on plain avocado toast and chopping a boiled egg, stirring it into some mashed avocado (about 1/4 of a whole med. avocado), and spreading all of that on top of whole wheat toast. OMG. TRY IT!!
I have never been a huge mango fan, but I think this recipe could change that. I love pretty much anything with black beans.

This is gorgeous! The perfect summer salad. yum!

I’ve never tried raw sweet corn but I want to now. I love everything about this salad and it is perfect for this hot weather! It’s been in the 90′s here in the East Bay, I feel like I’m back in Texas!

I would never have thought of eating raw corn kernels, but am so curious to try it now. This salad looks so good!
Reply
Looks and sounds delicious. I’ve been on a mango kick too since your strawberry-mango salsa recipe. Making this right away! Thanks.
Reply
you just recently tried avocado toast?? girl, you have been missing out, welcome to happiness in the morning. and this salad WOULD be delicious on that, i agree!
Reply
I have been looking for a new staple recipe for spring and summer gettogethers… I think I have found it! Can’t wait to try.
Reply
Mmm what a fabulous recipe!!
Reply
That sounds like a perfect summer dish! Love it!
It’s still a little cold where I live to truly enjoy that salad, but I am definitely adding it to my list of things to make for June-August.
Reply
The colors are fantastic. Its still a bit cooler on the East Coast so I am enjoying as much baking as I can before the oven gets severely limited.
Reply
Love all of these flavors!! Great tip on not cooking the corn. I will definitely be giving this recipe a try!
Reply
How is it so hot in the Bay right now?? This looks so tempting & refreshing right now! Gorgeous colors!

yummy!

This recipe looks fabulous! I’ve never tried raw corn, but I’ll definitely give it a shot!

Yum Jenna! I have a recipe so similiar to this but I toss it in a TORILLA! This looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely light and delicious looking salad!!

Hooray for raw sweet corn and avacado toast!
Oh, and happy wedding month to you!

This sounds delicious and perfect for a hot day. I can see myself making a big batch of this at the beginning of the week and eating it for lunches.

I’m not a big fan of this California heat wave either! Our temperatures are close to 100°, and the house never cools off, even with all of the windows open in both the mornings and evenings. But mango and fresh corn might distract me from the heat for a little bit… Looks delicious!
Reply
It was extremely hot here in la (for spring anyway) and this would have been perfect. When it gets hot, I lose my appetite. Something like this would have picked it right back up…cold, hearty, full of wonderful flavors that go so well with one another!
Reply
Mmmmm! I want to load this up on a big piece of avocado toast. I love your fruit and veggie salsa combos!
Reply
Salivating right now.
Reply
This looks so good! For some reason, it reminds me of fall (I guess its the colors). I will definitely try this out.
Reply
I made the same thing but with some quinoa.. avocado! Yum!
Reply
I have a recipe very similar to this, the only thing different is I add a package of dry italian dressing seasoning, so good!
