Sweet & Spicy Black Bean Salad (Or Dip) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
    1 1/2 cups sweet corn (I use frozen, thawed)
    2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
    1/2 cup green onion, minced
    1/2 cup fresh cilantro, minced
    1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    1/4 cup canola oil
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Preparation
    In a jar or container with tight-fitting lid, combine lime juice, oil, brown sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Shake until completely blended.
    In a separate bowl, combine beans, corn, green onions, jalapeno and cilantro.
    Pour dressing over bean mixture and toss to coat.
    Cover and chill for atleast an hour or up to a day. If a day, give it a stir or two.
    To serve as a salad, arrange with cabbage or lettuce leaves. Add more cilantro to make it pretty on top, if you wish.
    To serve as an appetizer, I like to eat it with tortilla chips.
