Sweet Corn and Black Bean Salad image

The original recipe I found on epicurious many years ago but it used black eyed peas which I don't like. It was also labeled a salsa which I suppose would be good as well but my favorite way to eat this is as a salad for lunch. I like big servings of veggies so this usually lasts me two lunches but served as a side dish I suppose it could easily serve 4.
