Black Bean - Mango Salad



Tonight's meal was simple and refreshing! A simple black bean and mango salad served with cut apples, grapes and crackers. There were no leftovers with this dish. The kids really enjoyed it too!

* 2 mango's, peeled, pitted, and diced
* 1/2 cup prepared Italian dressing (like Wishbone)
* 2 cans (15.5 oz. each) black beans and/or garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed.
* 1/2 cup chopped red onion
* 1 small green and/or red pepper, chopped.

In food processor or blender, puree 1/3 cup mangoes and Italian dressing until smooth.

In large bowl, combine beans, red onions, peppers and remaining mangoes. Add mango dressing; toss gently to coat.

Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Chill until ready to serve.
