Black Bean and Fresh Corn Salad

Fresh corn is a hot commodity in the summertime and can be found at all farmers' markets or your local grocery store. Grilling corn is one of my favorite ways to eat it, but I also really enjoy it raw off the cob and in a salad. Lime juice makes an excellent base for this salad dressing, so I paired that with cumin, salt and pepper for a quick and fresh topping. Enjoy!
