Start by preparing your ingredients. Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly. Peel, pit, and dice the mango. Dice the pineapple, red bell pepper, and red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained black beans, diced mango, pineapple, red bell pepper, and red onion.
Add the chopped cilantro and, if using, the finely chopped jalapeño pepper to the bowl for an extra kick of heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to make a simple dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salsa ingredients and gently toss everything together until well combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Let the salsa sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or refrigerate for up to 2 days for a chilled and refreshing dish.
