Ingredients
  

1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 avocados, diced

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (for heat)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, black beans, red bell pepper, red onion, corn, and cilantro.

    If using, add the finely chopped jalapeño for a spicy kick.

      In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.

          Just before serving, gently fold in the diced avocados to prevent them from mashing.

            Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper as desired.

              Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your refreshing tropical salad!
