Beautiful Bean Salad

Beautiful Bean Salad
1 medium cucumber; chopped
1 cup canned corn; drained
1 medium red onion; chopped
2 medium tomatoes; chopped
2 medium green peppers; chopped
15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 jalapeno pepper finely chopped (I used canned)
Fresh cilantro chopped

Dressing
1 TBS salt
6 TS fresh lime juice
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup cider vinegar

Mix all the veggies
Mix up the dressing
Pour and toss (it can be pretty liquidy, so I've used the dressing sparingly in the past; it's still great)
Best when made at least a day ahead of time

I've eaten this as a salad and I've even used it as a salsa.  Either way it's delish!  Also, you can mix in colored peppers, and black eyed peas if you'd like.  And, you can grill/roast corn on the cob, cut it off and add that in in place of the canned corn.  

Enjoy!
