Black Bean and Corn Salad
"This recipe was adapted from a Cooking Light recipe many years ago. I cut the oil because it didn't need it and changed a few other things as well. This is my favorite summer food and one I use when trying to lose a few pounds."

I really enjoyed this salad! It was good by itself but even better as a dip with corn chips! The lime and cumin were terrific as a dressing. I added a little more jalapeno than called for as we like it spicy! Thanks for posting this recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2008
