Black Bean & Corn Salsa

A few years ago, my friend Abby brought this into the Governor's office with tortilla chips and I've been making it every spring/summer since. Hallie makes a similar version and serves it as a side dish. It is also great on top of grilled chicken or fish. Really, you could put whatever vegetables you like in it. It's a lot of chopping, but very worth it in the end. This salsa is also always better the second day.

-1 can of yellow corn, drained (I guess you could use frozen)
-1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
-1 red pepper, diced fine
-1 orange pepper, diced fine
-2 or 3 jalapenos, diced fine (leave the seeds if you want some heat)
-1 small red onion, diced fine
-1 pkg cherry tomatoes, cut in quarters or halves
-1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
-juice of 1 or 2 limes
-salt and pepper to taste
Dice everything and combine in a large bowl. Chill and serve. This feeds and army! I have also started zesting the limes and adding that as well. YUM!
