Mango Black Bean and Tomato Salad

We have been blessed with children who love to cook.
Last week when we were in Phoenix our two oldest daughters treated us to the most wonderful meals.
Being able to kiss on our grandbabies and spoiled with delicious food, I'm surprised we even came home.

As a family, we love anything with a Mexican flair. Recipes with rice, beans, or avocados always gets a thumbs up.
In fact our son-in-law owns several Costa Vida Fresh Mex restaurants in the Phoenix area.
I forgot to bring out the camera during dinner, but I did get a recipe for the Mango Black Bean and Tomato Salad made as a side dish by our daughter Aubrey.
Good job Aubrey!

Look at all these beautiful colors together.
I loved the sweet of the mango mixed with the spiciness of the cilantro, jalapeno and red onion.

A big batch is now marinating in the fridge for tonight's dinner.
