Instructions:

  1. Preparation: Gather all the ingredients listed above.

  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans (drained and rinsed), diced mango, chopped tomato, finely diced red onion, freshly chopped cilantro, and minced garlic.

  3. Mix Thoroughly: Gently mix all the ingredients until they are evenly distributed, ensuring that the flavors meld together harmoniously.

  4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill the salsa in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to intensify and mingle, resulting in a more robust taste experience.

Tips:

  • For added spice, incorporate finely chopped jalapeno peppers into the salsa.
  • Ensure the mango is ripe but firm for the perfect texture and sweetness.
  • Customize the salsa by adjusting the amount of cilantro and garlic to suit your taste preferences.
  • Experiment with different types of beans or additional tropical fruits for a unique twist.
