Corn and Black Bean Salad

There are a lot of other bean and corn salads out there, but I didn't find one quite the same as this. I like this served over lettuce, in which case it can serve more than four. I originally found this recipe on the web, but I did make my own additions and changes to it to suit my own tastes.

Ingredients
