Description
A vibrant and fresh salsa with sweet mango, zesty lime, and a kick of jalapeño.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 2 limes
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Start by dicing the ripe mangoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion and jalapeño, and rinse the black beans under cold water.
- Combine in a large bowl: In your mixing bowl, gently combine the diced mango, cherry tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and black beans. The colors will dazzle your senses!
- Add the finishing touches: Squeeze the juice of freshly cut limes over the mixture. Be generous; the tangy juice will unify the flavors beautifully.
- Season with salt: Start with a pinch of salt and add more to taste. A little salt enhances the sweetness and brings out the natural flavors of your ingredients.
- Toss gently: Using a spatula or large spoon, fold the ingredients together carefully, ensuring that the mango remains intact and every piece mingles with the others.
- Let it meld: Serve immediately if you crave that fresh burst, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Either way, a sprinkle of cilantro on top just before serving adds a fresh pop.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, try grilling the mango before dicing it! This adds an exciting depth to your salsa.
