Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Black beans (canned, rinsed, and drained)
- 1 cup Pineapple (fresh, diced)
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup Cilantro (fresh, chopped)
- 1 Jalapeño (finely diced, seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 Lime (juiced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly, then add them to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the fresh pineapple into small bite-sized pieces if not already prepared, and add it to the bowl with the black beans.
Dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the red onion. Add both to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and finely dice the jalapeño (adjust the amount to your heat preference). Stir into the mixture.
Squeeze the juice from one lime into the bowl, ensuring you remove any seeds.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salsa and sprinkle in the salt and black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice, salt, or pepper to your preference.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, grilled fish, or chicken.
