Mango & Black Bean Salad

So while sitting in the doctors office yesterday, I was flipping through Cooking Light and found this recipe. I tore it out of the magazine, and Za Za looked at me kinda confused like, and then started to suggest we tear out every recipe. I guess that's what I get. Anyway we tried this salad tonight, and it was delish! I didn't have the tomatillo or the lime, but I am sure that they would be yummy. And Will liked it too, now that really says something:)
