Southwestern Black Bean and Corn Salad

3 15-oz cans black beans, drained
2 11-0z cans corn niblets, drained
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt

Mix the dressing with a whisk in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight or 6-8 hrs.

We make this salad a lot during the summer, especially when we grill chicken or burgers. Or for a nice, light summer dinner, just have it with tortilla chips and salsa. Yummy! :-)

This is delicious, I made it last night, to have for dinner tonight, and it has taken a lot of will power to let it last until dinner!
