  • Preheat oven to 400.

  • Mix black beans, red onion, bell pepper, tomato, jalapeno, garlic and cilantro in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice, oil and cumin together and set aside.
  • When corn is cool enough to handle, remove it from the cob with a knife and add to the rest of the vegetables.
  • Add the dressing and mix well.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • The salad is best when allowed to sit for an hour.
