Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Black beans
- 1 medium (diced) Mango
- 1 cup (diced) Pineapple
- 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium (diced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro leaves
- 1 small (seeded and minced) Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly, ensuring all excess liquid is removed.
Peel and dice the mango into small cubes. Dice the pineapple into similarly sized pieces.
Dice the red bell pepper and red onion finely. Mince the jalapeño pepper after seeding it for a mild heat level.
Chop the cilantro leaves roughly, ensuring no large stems remain.
In a large bowl, combine the black beans, mango, pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Drizzle the lime juice and olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle the salt and ground black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly mixed, being careful not to mash the mango or beans.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or jalapeño as desired.
Refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, if possible.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a dip with tortilla chips, a topping for grilled fish, or a fresh addition to tacos.
