Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes depending on their size, then add them to the bowl with the black beans.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro and jalapeño, then stir them into the mix. (If you prefer a milder salsa, omit the seeds from the jalapeño or reduce the amount used.)
Zest the lime and squeeze the juice over the mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Sprinkle in the salt and ground cumin, then drizzle the olive oil over the salsa.
Toss all ingredients gently to combine, making sure everything is evenly coated in the seasonings and lime juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preferences.
