Black Bean Salad

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!  Tonight the Thayer family had our usual Cinco de Mayo Taco bar, featuring make your own tacos with chicken or flank steak, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, and plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.  We also had my favorite, yummy black bean salad.  I love making this salad, it's easy, flavor-filled, great for BBQs, and you can make it ahead of time.

Serves 6-8, Total time 15 minutes
In a bowl, mix beans & corn.
