Serving Suggestions
- • This Mango & Black Bean Rainbow Salad is a meal in itself, perfect as a light lunch or dinner. To enhance its nutritional value, consider serving it with a side of quinoa or farro for added whole grains. A refreshing beverage like iced green tea or sparkling water with a splash of lime will complement the salad beautifully. For a bit of crunch, you might add a handful of toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds as a topping. If you're looking to pair it with a protein, consider grilled tofu or tempeh, which will maintain the salad's vegan status while adding extra substance.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain freshness, keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving. This will ensure the vegetables remain crisp and vibrant.
