Black Bean & Corn Salad

I serve this crisp, slightly sweet combination as an appetizer with tortilla chips. As simple as it is, this recipe gets the most ardent compliments! 








Ingredients
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup fresh (or frozen, thawed) whole-kernel corn 
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
3/4 cup minced onion
1/3 cup chopped cilantro 
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed & drained




Directions
Bring the first 7 ingredients to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer for 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Combine vinegar mixture, corn and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; cover and chill. Yields 4 cups.
