 Black Bean Mango Salsa from http://www.reluctantgourmet.com

• � cup cooked black beans - you can cook them yourself but canned beans will work quite nicely.
• 1 ripe medium sized mango
• 1 red bell pepper
• � red onion
• Juice from 3 limes
• 8 tablespoons pineapple juice
• 1/3 cup of fresh cilantro
• 1-tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 jalapeno chili pepper
• Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

Prep the ingredients:

• Peel & pit the mango and then dice it into � inch pieces.
• Core and seed the bell pepper and dice into small pieces.
• Peel and dice the onion into equal sized pieces.
• Squeeze the juice from the limes and have it ready.
• Chop the cilantro finely.
• Stem, seed and mince the jalapeno pepper. Be careful not to touch your hands to your eyes after working with this chile pepper.

How to Prepare at Home:

Combine all the ingredients together in one good sized bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings with the salt and pepper. Don't overwork the salsa or it will become a big mush.

You can serve this whenever, but it will taste even better if you let it size a while in the refrigerator up to a few days.
