Mango and Black Bean Salad

Mango's and black beans, what a perfect combination. Mango's seem to be quite popular in the grocery stores right now and with the beginning of the grilling season upon us, what a great time for a light tasty side dish. It also makes a great salsa with some dipping chips.

For variation, peaches or pineapple could be used in place of the mango.
