Roasted Corn, Black Bean and Mango Salad


Roasted Corn, Black Bean and Mango SaladThis simple, fresh-tasting salad adds delicious variety to grilled foods, such as salmon, halibut, chicken or pork. Browning the corn in a skillet gives it a nutty, caramelized flavor that contrasts with the sweetness of the mango.
