A sweet and spicy vinaigrette with mango and chipotle peppers plays double duty in this Mexican-inspired salad: it not only serves as a dressing but also helps transform canned beans and corn into a quick salsa. All salad ingredients are placed in individual piles on a plate and tossed just before eating.
