Bulgur & Black Bean Summer Fruit Salad

Veganized's Note:

So delicious! It's perfect on a hot summer day... And it makes a great side dish for barbecues. (You can even serve it as a healthy dessert! - Try it with (vegan) vanilla yogurt ;))

This was a great lunch. The second time I made it there was no mango in the shops so i used chunks of varied melon which was good too. Nice one Veganised!
