NOTES : Author's Notes: I discovered this salad while visiting Key West,

Florida, the southernmost tip of the country, where an outdoor restaurant called

Mangoes served a lunch of couscous, black beans, and corn dressed lightly with a

touch of Key Lime. I came home and made the salad with a regular lime, and the

result was equally enticing.
