Black Bean - Mango Salsa

When mangoes are in season, I love to mix them with avocado and such things to top dishes off or as a healthy dip. This is interesting as I do not typically eat mangoes on their own - they are just a tad too sweet for me. But when mixed with other elements, the sweetness is decreased and I enjoy them immensely! This salsa is very versatile and cost effective. It can be used in tacos, on grilled or sauteed fish, on baked chicken as a dip or a salad topper. 
  • One can Black Beans 
  • Two Mangoes, diced
  • Half red onion, small dice
  • One cup cilantro, chopped
  • One avocado, diced
  • One Jalapeno, minced
  • 1.5 cups Jicama, diced 
  • Juice from one lime, mixed with pinch of salt and a little bit of olive oil (or garlic olive oil)
  • Cayenne, Garlic Powder, Cumin, and Adobo spices as desired

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well (but gently). Season as desired.
