How to Make Fruit Black Bean Salsa

  1. Choose 1 ripe mango, peach, or nectarine (or a combination!). Peel, pit, and dice into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Core, seed, and finely dice 1 red bell pepper and 1/2 yellow bell pepper (or 1 whole bell pepper of your choice). Blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.
  3. Drain the blanched peppers and add to a medium bowl.
  4. Add 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained, to the bowl.
  5. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion.
  6. Add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
  7. Juice 1 lime and add the juice to the bowl.
  8. Stir in 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional, adjust to your spice preference).
  9. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Gently combine all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 2 days) to allow flavors to meld.
  11. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, grilled fish, or your favorite dish!
