Black Bean and Corn Dip Filed under ( appetizer )

Southern Living is my all time favorite "Go TO" for recipes. I love it... but I am southern girl. I found this recipe years ago labeled Black Bean and Corn Salad. I have always served it as a dip. In fact, this recipe is a tradition at several of our Sunday School parties - especially the 4th of July party. Please try this. It is so fresh tasting- the perfect tastes of summer!

3 fresh ears of corn
