Mango Tango Bean Salad

Few weeks ago I saw a bean and mango salad recipe on Engine 2 Diet's Facebook page. They used a combination of mango, onion, cannellini beans, lime zest, lime juice and cilantro to make a refreshing and healthy salad. I decided to adapt the recipe a little by adding cucumbers, using black beans instead of cannellini beans and leaving out the lime zest. I also added cayenne pepper for an extra kick :-)
