Black Bean and Corn Salad - Spicy Mexican Salad/Side Dish image

A spicy, crisp, fresh vegetable salad. This salad should be made several hours before it is served....to marinate the vegetables and blend the flavors. I personally don't cook the corn I cut from the cobb, just a personal preference. If corn isn't in season a good quality frozen corn is a perfect substitution - I don't even defrost it! The produce you use should be top quality for a superior result.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted salsa for the diced tomatoes. It was just as good!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover black beans and corn.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the jalapeño pepper. It was still delicious!

I like to add a little bit of chopped cilantro to this salad for extra flavor.
