BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD

Black Bean and Corn Salad image

Believe it or not, I got the idea for this recipe from Guy Fieri's cooking show on Food Network. Being a VEG, I can't say that I take too much inspiration from his show, but this recipe really caugh my eye. I made a few changes to suit my style and taste. What a wonderful mix of flavors this was. I did leave out the jalapenos, because they didn't have ANY at the store, and because one of my guests does not like spicy food. BUT, I will most certaily add them back the next time I make this. I also used agave syrup in place of honey, to keep it vegan. **Jalapenos do not make it too spicy at all! In fact the second and third times I've made this the "heat sensitive" people did not even notice. I think they balance the sweet and tangyness of the dressing...
