- Red onion: adds a little zing to this salad and red onion is best for raw salads
- Black beans: adds some plant-based protein to make it more filling
- Cilantro: fresh cilantro finely chopped to add flavor

Recipe Tips:
- I like to make this summer salad with the yellow ataulfo mangos, which are smaller, so if you are using red mangos you may only need three
- Make this summer salad come together even easier by buying pre-chopped jicama sticks from your local grocery such as Trader Joe’s
- Add jalapeno to customize the salad with a little kick of spice
- Easily customize this salad by adding cucumber or avocado
- This salad is a great side dish, dip, or light meal. I also enjoy adding it on top of fish, tacos, or a bed of lettuce
- Perfect for a picnic or potluck
