Black Bean and Corn Salad

Yet another staple of my diet from Simply Recipes.  If I ever meet that chick, I'll buy her a glass of wine.  This is a great summer salad, easy to put together with things around the house, and it can be a whole meal.....  Probably not designed that way, but that's how we roll sometimes. 

• 1  can of black beans, rinsed and drained (or 1 1/2 cups of freshly cooked black beans)
• 1 1/2 cups corn cut off the cob
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions  or shallots
• 2 fresh jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced
• 3 fresh plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro -  I don't use...
• 2 Tbsp lime juice (about the amount of juice from one lime)
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of sugar (I never use it and the salad is fine...)
• Salt and pepper to taste

 

Mix it together.  Chill for about 30 min.
