i made two black bean and corn salads today since they had similar ingredients and i wanted to try them both! this one includes fruit, like the corn and bean salad with basil-lime vinaigrette i made last year, but it includes pineapple instead of mango. it also has an additional kick with the cumin and jalapeno spice. give this a try too!

- 2 plum tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper, any color
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
