Corn and Black Bean Salad (A.K.A. Corn Salsa)

This dish is good as a salad or as a corn salsa for chips, tacos, fajitas, etc.  I take this to a lot of potlucks and always have requests for the recipe.  It is not spicy at all, just good and flavorful.  Kids like the sweetness from the corn.  I always make extra for lunch left-overs.
