"I could honestly eat this for days in a row...nothing else. It's a great combination of sweet corn and black beans and lots of other tasty things! It's worth the bit of mincing and is a great dish to make ahead of time. This can be served as a salad, but I've always made it as an appetizer dip, served with tortilla chips."

ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 ¹⁄₂ cups sweet corn (I use frozen, thawed)
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
¹⁄₂ cup green onion, minced
¹⁄₂ cup fresh cilantro, minced
¹⁄₄ cup fresh lime juice
¹⁄₄ cup canola oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground pepper

directions

In a jar or container with tight-fitting lid, combine lime juice, oil, brown sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Shake until completely blended.
In a separate bowl, combine beans, corn, green onions, jalapeno and cilantro.
Pour dressing over bean mixture and toss to coat.
Cover and chill for atleast an hour or up to a day. If a day, give it a stir or two.
To serve as a salad, arrange with cabbage or lettuce leaves. Add more cilantro to make it pretty on top, if you wish.
To serve as an appetizer, I like to eat it with tortilla chips.

This is almost the same as what I make and very good. For a real taste treat try adding peeled and diced mango or a can of pineapple tidbits, drained. 3 great tase sensations with one basic recipie. Good stuff and good for you.

Made this today for our office potluck and it was a big hit! Added the mango (thanks to Chef beancooker's post) and served with tortilla chips, the result was fantastic.
