Ingredients
Scale
Fruit and Vegetables
- 3–4 large mangoes, diced
- 1 cup finely diced strawberries
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
Dressing
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, dried basil, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until fully blended, then refrigerate the dressing until ready to use.
- Prepare the mango: Use a vegetable peeler to gently remove the skin from each mango. Slice around the pit to separate the flesh from the seed. It’s acceptable if the slices are uneven. Finely dice the mango and place the pieces on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess moisture while preparing other ingredients.
- Combine salsa ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, strawberries, avocado, red bell pepper, jalapeno, red onion, black beans, and chopped cilantro.
- Mix in dressing: Pour the refrigerated dressing over the combined salsa ingredients. Using a silicone spatula, gently toss everything together to evenly coat the mixture with the dressing without mashing the avocado.
- Chill and serve: If possible, refrigerate the salsa for 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Before serving, toss the salsa one more time. Serve with tortilla chips or as a fresh topping for tacos, chicken, beef, pork, salmon, shrimp, or other dishes.
Notes
- For best texture, drain and thoroughly rinse canned black beans before adding to the salsa to reduce excess liquid and salt.
- If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the jalapeno pepper.
- This salsa is best served fresh or within a day for optimal flavor and texture.
- Adjust honey to taste if you prefer a sweeter salsa.
