Ingredients

1 15 oz. can black beans (rinsed and drained)
2 ears of sweet corn, husked (OR 1 15 oz. can sweet corn, rinsed and drained)
1 small red bell pepper (diced)
2 Roma tomatoes (seeded and diced)
1/2 cup diced English cucumber
1/4 cup diced red onions
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1-2 jalapenos (seeded, deveined, minced (1 for mild))
1/3 cup packed cilantro (chopped)
3-4 tablespoons lime juice ((start with 3))
1/2 tsp EACH salt, cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

GRILL CORN (optional): Lightly brush each ear of corn with olive oil. Grease and heat grill to high heat (450 degrees). Once hot, add corn and close the lid. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side, rotating the corn until all of the sides are lightly charred, about 10-12 minutes, closing the lid in between rotations. Set the corn aside and allow to cool enough to handle. Cut the kernels off of the cob and transfer to a large bowl.
OR SKILLET CORN (optional): Cut the kernels off of the cob OR use canned corn. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn starts to char approximately 5 minutes. Transfer kernels to a large bowl.
ASSEMBLE: Add all of the remaining Black Bean Salsa ingredients to the grilled corn and toss to evenly coat. Season with additional lime juice and/or salt and pepper to taste.
CHILL: Chill for one hour before serving. This salsa will keep covered in the fridge for up to five days, but is best within a couple hours.

Use ripe, fresh fruits: The tropical fruits in this salsa should be ripe and sweet, to provide the best flavor. Avoid fruits that are bruised or have brown spots.
Choose a good quality queso blanco: Queso blanco is a type of fresh cheese that is common in Latin American cuisine. It has a mild, creamy flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in this salsa.
Cut the ingredients into small pieces: This will help the salsa to be more evenly mixed and easier to eat.
Adjust the spiciness to your liking: If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapeño pepper or use a milder pepper, such as a bell pepper.
Serve the salsa immediately or refrigerate it for later: This salsa is best served fresh, but it can also be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
