this Recipe

Fresh black bean and mango salsa! This recipe hits all of the snacking spots for me: savory, slightly sweet, fresh ingredients and lots of varying textures.

This mango is a tropical twist on salsa! If you like my pineapple salsa, peach habanero salsa, or fresh mango salsa, then you’ll love this mango bean version.

I’ve been making a version of this black bean and mango salsa for years now, but I realized that I didn’t have a recipe to share with you. This salsa is one that you’ll want to make over and over again this summer.

It packs well, so you can make it ahead of time for company, take it to potlucks, or keep it in the fridge for a few days for easy snacking.

I usually serve this with tortilla chips because I love the added salty crunch, but vegetable sticks work as well! You can also eat it straight out of the bowl.

How to Make Mango Black Bean Salsa

Prep all of the Ingredients

Chop all of the ingredients for easy assembly: chop the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. Rinse and drain the black beans.

Combine together

Combine all of the salsa ingredients with the lime juice, salt, and cumin. Adjust the seasoning as desired, adding more salt as needed.

Tips for Success

This recipe is super forgiving– you really don’t even have to measure. The ratio works best with one can of black beans and a majority of mango and almost equal parts of red pepper, cilantro, and red onion. However, you can increase or decrease one of the ingredients depending on how you like it.

The seasoning is really just fresh lime juice, salt, and a little cumin for flavor. I tend to start with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and then add from there, depending on the saltiness of your beans.

Health Benefits of Black Bean Salsa

Not only is this recipe incredibly delicious, it’s good for you as well! To make this mango salsa have staying power, I added in canned black beans as beans have a unique combination of protein and fiber, two key items in helping you stay full.

That fiber component is why I’m such a fan of beans as a protein source instead of animal products. You’re still getting protein, but you’re also getting a source of soluble and insoluble fiber (and prebiotics!), two factors that have been shown to be helpful in reducing cholesterol levels and colon cancer.

Ounce-for-ounce, the amount of protein you get from plant-based protein sources, such as beans, is very similar to that from animal-based foods. In addition to 6-7 grams of protein per serving and gut-healthy fiber, beans are full of other healthful nutrients, including cholesterol-lowering sterols and stanols, vitamins, and minerals.
