BlackBean Mango & Fresh Corn Salad

 I bought some fresh corn over the holiday and I couldn't help but make this salad.  Most people think of salad as iceberg lettuce, tomato, and cucumbers.  That's an OK salad but in my family there are too many salads to choose from and  this is such a favorite.  It's easy, quick, and healthy.  Sometime I eat it all alone as a meal.

1.    4 fresh ears of corn " slice off the cob "
2.  1 ripe mango  chopped
3. 2 cans of black beans - drained and rinsed
4. 1 lime zest it and save the juice
5. 1 small purple onion diced
6. 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
7. 1 1/2s  of  teaspoon of cumin
8.  salt & pepper to taste
9. 1 cup minced fresh cilantro ... " they sell dried now and it works great! "

In a large bowl simply mix all the ingredients together and chill for an hour or so.  This keeps well for a couple of days and the taste just gets better!  Great for picnics since there is no mayonnaise.

Note:  I serve this with grilled Pork or grilled chicken but it honestly goes with everything!
