Black Bean Salad with Fresh Corn

Tried this recipe at a neighbor's house and had to make it myself.  I love this!!  We had it as a side dish for dinner tonight.  Couldn't get enough of it.  Strong lime flavor.  


Black Bean Salad with Fresh Corn


2 cups black beans, cooked, rinsed 
1 ear corn, boiled, kernels removed from the cob   (I cheated on this one.  I used 1 cup frozen white corn defrosted by running warm water over it.)  
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium poblano pepper, diced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (leaves and stems)
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 Tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 Tablespoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon salt


Optional:  I added 2 diced tomatoes because anything tastes better with tomatoes to me!


Directions
Combine the beans, corn, onion, peppers and cilantro in a large bowl.  Whisk together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the bean mixture.  Mix well.  Chill the salad for 2 hours before serving.
