This is one of my favorite salads - and I could eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner - I never tire of it. I make it with fresh corn in the fall but when I'm fresh out of corn I use frozen. The dressing is made with Near Beer...fake beer and I use O'Douls...because the kids like this too and really, no one likes drunk kids...It comes together quickly because of canned beans and once again, my picture makes this look totally unappetizing but trust me....this is a GREAT salad - it's also great as a salsa!
