Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced fresh mango (about 1 medium mango)
  • 1 medium avocado, diced (about 5.3 ounces)
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 seeded and finely chopped jalapeño (optional)
  • Juice of 2 limes (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly.
  2. Dice the mango, avocado, red and green bell peppers into small, even pieces.
  3. Mince the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  4. If using, finely chop the seeded jalapeño.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cumin powder, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the black beans, mango, avocado, bell peppers, onion, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  7. Pour the lime dressing over the mixture and fold carefully to combine without mashing the avocado.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld. Stir gently before serving if chilled.
  9. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

Notes

Use ripe but firm mango and creamy avocado for best texture. Rinse canned black beans well to reduce sodium and starch. Fold avocado gently to avoid mashing. Adjust jalapeño quantity to control heat. Serve immediately or chill briefly for flavor melding. Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 2 days; avocado may darken.
