Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans
- 1 large ripe mango
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 medium jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly in a colander. Set aside to remove excess water.
Peel and dice the mango into small, bite-sized cubes.
Halve the cherry tomatoes. If they are large, quarter them for uniformity.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the cilantro leaves. If using jalapeño, finely mince it, removing seeds for less heat or keeping them for extra spice.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, mango, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy!
