Aztec Black Bean Salad (Vegan, Low Fat)

Aztec Black Bean Salad (Vegan, Low Fat) Recipe

From fatfreevegan.com. This salad is lovely and can be made ahead. Add or subtract the chipotles to fit your own taste. I have also replaced the cilantro with Italian parsley when served to someone who hates cilantro and it turned out well.
