3 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp table salt
15 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup(s) tomato(es), diced
1/2 cup(s) onion(s), sweet, diced
1/4 cup(s) mint leaves, or cilantro, fresh, cut into thin slivers
1 Tbsp canned jalapeno peppers, or fresh, minced (if using fresh, do not touch seeds with bare hands)

Instructions
In a large bowl, mash 1/4 cup of diced mango with a fork; whisk in lime juice, water, oil, cumin and salt.


Add remaining diced mango, beans, tomato, onion, mint and jalapeno to bowl; toss to mix and coat. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
