NOTES ON INGREDIENTS

There are some notes for wonderful edamame and mango salad:

  • edamame – I suggest frozen-shelled edamame
  • mango – any sort of mango will do but you want it to be firm, so make sure it’s not overripe, even a little underripe would do
  • Both canned and homemade black beans work well, as does fresh, frozen, or canned corn.

The particular amounts, as well as the remaining components, are specified in the recipe card below.
