Put the black beans in a strainer and rinse thoroughly; set aside to drain. Peel the mango, slice pieces off the pit, and dice into approx. 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside. Combine cooked rice, green onions, cilantro, salsa, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. (Note: add salt only if the beans are salt-free.) Mix well. Add the diced mango and then the drained beans, stirring only enough to mix. Hint 1: The purpose of the rice is to absorb extra liquid and keep a nice texture, - so use rice which is well-separated and a bit on the dry side. Hint 2.: You can't have too much cilantro :-) |
