1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional for heat)

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño pepper (if using), and avocado. Gently toss to combine all the fresh ingredients.
