Mango-Black Bean Salsa

 Mango makes everything refreshing and sweet. This is a take from my Pineapple-Black Bean Salad. This refreshing salsa can be served on tacos, with tortilla chips, or piled into a pita for a delicious sandwich.


Makes 4 servings

1         1-pound can black beans, rinsed and drained (This will yield approximately 10 ounces of beans.)
1        8-ounce can mango slices (packed in juice), drained (Reserve ¼ cup of the juice.)
½       cup finely chopped red bell pepper
½       cup thinly sliced green onion (green and white parts)
2        teaspoons vinegar
½       teaspoon ground cumin
¼       teaspoon salt   
          Pepper to taste
1        jalapeno pepper, finely chopped, seeds and inner membranes discarded (optional)
 




Gather ingredients


Mash mango


Slice onion


Chop jalapeno finely


Chop red pepper 


Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl


Add the reserved mango juice.  Mix well.


Chill thoroughly, and mix before serving.
