Notes
- Fruit - If mango isn't in season you could chop up some canned (or fresh) pineapple. I know that sweet acidic flavor would also complement this salad well.
- Corn - I like to use frozen corn that has been thawed, but you could use fresh or even drained canned corn.
- Beans - You can use freshly cooked black beans or drained and rinsed canned black beans.
