CORN AND BEAN FIESTA SALAD



Corn and Bean Fiesta Salad image

Warning! This makes a TON of salad. Then again, it's addictive and easy to make so it's a great one for your Summer cookout repertoire! Feel free to substitute some of the beans for other types if you prefer - the original emailed recipe I got had black-eyed peas in it. Mostly what you want is a pretty firm bean so it doesn't get mushy when you mix it together. You can also bump up the jalapenos if you like the heat! We love this with scoop corn chips or baked tortilla chips for dipping.
