Mexican Corn & Black Bean Salad

Submitted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)

"This salad is always extremely popular at potluck meals and picnics. It is best to not add the corn chips until you are serving the salad or they get mushy. If we are eating it at home and know we won't eat the entire dish in one sitting, we add the corn chips to the salad once it is on our plate rather than in the serving dish."
