3 large ripe Roma tomatoes
1 cup black beans, cooked
1 – 2 ripe mangos, peeled and chopped
3 Tablespoon Red Chili Honey
Directions
Lightly saute onion and garlic in the olive oil; place chopped cilantro, cumin seed, jalapeno, vinegar, honey and salt in a mixing bowl, and combine well.
Add corn, tomatoes, beans, and sauted ingredients; stir to combine. Allow to stand 30-45 minutes before serving. Yields 2 1/2 cups

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Combine all ingredients in small sauce pan; cook on low heat one minute – stirring constantly.
Note: (July 7, 2009): I made this today with lime juice instead of vinegar. And I substituted home-made fig preserves for the honey. Excellent.
