Black Bean-Mango Salad
By Freshmade NYC
Tropical foods were the topic of discussion at our last Kids Dinner Club class (ages 3 to 5) so we couldn’t resist making a tropical salad! The kids loved it because it was colorful with a touch of sweetness thanks to the mango. This is also one of our more popular catering dishes when we are feeding larger groups.
