1 seedless cucumber, washed and cut into 1/2" dice (about
2 cups)
1/2 of 1 medium mango, cut into 1/3" dice (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup drained and rinsed black beans
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 lime)
2 tablespoons orange juice (1/2 medium orange)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
(about 1 small pepper; see tip)
2 teaspoons granular sugar substitute
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1. In a large bowl, toss all ingredients. Let stand 30
minutes for flavors to blend. Can be prepared up to a
day in advance and kept in the refrigerator (bring to
room temperature before serving).
Since mangoes and black beans are high in nutrient-dense
carbs and fiber, we added cucumber to reduce the overall carb
count. This salad makes a great accompaniment to any grilled
meats or seafoods.
