Chicken, Rice, and Black Bean Salad

I often find leftover chicken as well as leftover brown rice in my fridge.  And one of my favorite things to do with those two ingredients is to marry them in this chicken, rice, and black bean salad.  Cause it may be September, but we are still hot as blazes here at the equator!
