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)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly in a colander. Set aside to remove excess water.

Step 2

Peel and dice the mango into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes. If they are large, quarter them for uniformity.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, mango, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.

Step 9

Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy!
