Quick Black Bean and Corn Salad image

This recipe is a favorite with my husband and five boys, all hearty eaters. It's filling, economical and, best of all, easy to prepare. I spend many afternoons driving our sons back and forth to their wrestling and band practices, piano lessons, Boy Scout meetings and church activities.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I added some chopped jalapeño and it was much better.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious.
