Recipe: Black Bean and Mango Salad

This recipe comes from the unlikely source of the label on a can of Unico black beans. Like Jackie’s Bean Salad, this one is surprisingly delicious considering how good it is for you. 🙂

It’s also fast – you can make enough for a week’s lunches in about 5 minutes!
