Mango Black Bean Salad

At this point I am pretty tired of the cold srping we are having.  I am hoping that by making one of my early summertime favorites, it will bring on the warm weather.  This is a great dish to serve as a side or even over a bed of greens for a main meal.  It has protein, healthy fats and cancer fighting veggies and spices.
