SPICY MEXICAN SALAD

Spicy Mexican Salad image

Spicy and not to mention healthy salad with corn and black beans that has no oil in it. I grilled corn on the cob and sliced the corn off the cob and used it instead of canned but canned can be used. I serve it with grilled chicken and a slab of cornbread. Yum! This is best if made the night before.
