I get recipes from the Food Network on my homepage, this one I gave a try. It was tasty! I had to tweak it a little, to use what I had on hand. They called it a Salad, but we found it most enjoyable eaten with tortilla chips.
Ingredients
- 2 cans black beans, drained, about 30 ounces
- 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1/4 cup diced pineapple
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 4 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch ground cumin
Refridgerate for one hour before serving.
- I changed it up a little by using Apple Cider Vinegar (what I had).
- I added the juice of the whole lime
- I didnt have a jalapeno, but I think it would be tasty with a little fire.
- I added extra cilantro, because again, i like it.
- I omitted the green onion, and just used a tiny bit of yellow onion instead of the red. (what i had)
- I only used one tomato (steve's not such a fan)
- I only used a little bit of pepper, green and red.
- I used one can of black beans, and one of kidney. This was an accident, i didnt read the label, but it was tasty all the same.
So you can see, you can tweak this to your own liking. :)

Similar but not the same as ours. How did you like the honey in it? I like the white frozen corn better than the canned. And of course I never put peppers or raw onion in it since I won't eat them!
didnt even taste the honey. i like it because it has sweetened up the salsa. i like canned corn. the onions were so small and there was so little that it wasnt bad. i like the pineapple over mango. i'm not a mango fan.
i do a black bean chili that's similar, though not as fruity:
2 cans black beans, drained
1 can roasted, diced tomatoes
corn,
1/2 onion, minced
1-3 chipotle chilis, minced (i use seeded too,they're not as hot, just add the flavor)
saute onion til really soft, add corn and cook over low-med til both onion and corn are really cramalized--keeps it sweet and cuts the power of the chilis-- add tomato, beans and chipotles, let heat through.
great as a bowl of chili with cheese, or warm/cool as a chip dip.
