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.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Salad:

  • Quinoa – pronounced KEEN-wah, this nutritious seed, often used as a grain, is mild yet nutty in flavor. For this salad, it provides bulk and give that luscious dressing something to hold on to. Look for quinoa in the bulk bins for best value.
  • Pepitas – these are edible seeds that come from specific varieties of pumpkins. They’re nutty in flavor and nutritious! In this recipe, they’re toasted with a bit of olive oil, salt and smoked paprika. Look for pepitas in the bulk bins for best value.
  • Black Beans – provide bulk, protein and flavor in this salad. If you can, cook black beans from scratch for the best flavor, or use canned black beans for convenience.
  • Red Onion – offers color and earthy, sharp flavor to the salad.
  • Mango – adds sweetness, color and juicy texture. Look for firm mangos and allow them to ripen at home. You know the mango is ripe when the skin gives a little when pressed gently. If it is too soft/mushy, the mango is over-ripe. It’s similar to testing an avocado for ripeness.
  • Spinach – add bulk, color and nourishing texture. Use baby spinach for a tender texture.
  • Cilantro – adds freshness and a lovely vegetal flavor to the salad.
  • Avocado – provide a creamy texture, savory-earthy flavor and healthy fats. Like mangos, to test an avocados ripeness, give it a gentle press. It’s ready when the skin gives a little. If you’re not ready to use an avocado, once ripe, set in the refrigerator where it’ll stay fresh for days until ready to enjoy.

For the Dressing:

  • Apple Cider Vinegar – a surprise ingredient in the dressing, it offers tangy flavor, and a hint of interest.
  • Chipotle Chilis in Adobo Sauce – you’ll use both in this recipe. They offer spice and smoky flavor. 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.
  • Fresh Lime Juice – adds so much flavor and balances the sweet and savory flavors of the salad.
  • Cilantro – adds freshness and a lovely vegetal flavor to the dressing.
  • Ground Cumin – adds a warm, earthy flavor with nutty undertones and complex flavor.
  • Olive Oil – creates a creamy, smooth and rich dressing.

Quick Guide: 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 a 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! Here’s what to do:

  1. Simply trim the stem ends of the mango and stand the mango on one end.
  2. To the right or left of the stem, slice a “cheek” off, slipping the knife all the way down. You may run into the pit. If so, reposition your knife so that the next time you slice, you’ll cut all the way down.
  3. Repeat with the other side.
  4. Gently slice one “cheek” through the flesh without cutting through the skin in a diagonal pattern two ways, creating squares or diamonds. Scoop out with a spoon, or turn the “cheek” inside out and slice the squares off with a knife.
  5. Finish slicing the mango by cutting around the pit, slicing the skin off and dicing the remaining flesh.

Pro Tips

  • Chipotle Chilis in Adobo Sauce: look for cans on the Mexican food aisle of your grocery store, gluten-free if needed. Leftovers will last weeks in the fridge, and store for months in the freezer. Use your leftovers in 10 Minute Black Bean Dipor easy Mexican Chipotle Salsa.
  • Make Ahead: 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.
  • This salad’s flavor improves with a bit of time in in the fridge. Add the avocado just before sharing as it tends to brown a bit otherwise.

Sweet and spicy come together in this Quinoa Mango Black Bean Salad with a scrumptious Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette and Smoky Pepitas. Cook Black Beans from scratch and make this ahead, ideal for lunch, dinner, potluck or picnic. It comes together in about 35 minutes! This recipe is vegetarian, vegan and easily 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):

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.

    Quinoa Mango Black Bean Salad with Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette | Vanilla And Bean (24)
    I discovered Vanilla and Bean years ago when I found the original version of this recipe. This is to blame for my pepita addiction. I lost my taste for smoky so I haven’t made this recipe in ages. The urge hit me tonight so I recreated it using a combo of smoked paprika and chili powder instead of adobo. I used papaya instead of mango because it was what looked best in the produce section. It was delish! Great recipe.

      Hi Jennifer! Since cilantro and basil have very different flavor profiles, I’d leave the cilantro off and serve it on the side for those that want it. I wouldn’t use basil in this salad. I hope this helps and y’all enjoy the salad!

    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!!

    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.

    This is yummy. I made it pretty close to as is, no oil in dressing but then a lot more lime juice! And I wanted to make this lighter yet filling so I used loads of spinach as a salad base. The sweet mango and spicy chipotle is perfect together! Thanks.

    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

    I burnt myself out on quinoa about 25 years ago when my husband was a vegetarian, but this is still a lovely salad, with lovely goodies. Love your dressing. And spectacular photos!

      Oh no! Perhaps give this a go with brown rice or consider leaving the quinoa out? Thank you so much Mimi!

    I do love quinoa and mango, but I’ve never incorporated them together. Perhaps, I should steal this lovely idea, haha:) That’s the absolutely delicious salad – good job, Traci!
