April's Awesome Corn Salad

Why I Love This Recipe
My roommate's friend made this the other night for us and I could have eaten ten pounds all by myself. She really hit on a great combination of flavors.
Just combine all the ingredients and let sit for a bit before serving (if you can wait that long!)
Ingredients You'll Need
1 can rinsed and drained black beans
3 cobs of corn, cut kernels from the cob
1 red pepper, large dice
1 jalepeno, diced
1-2 tomatoes depending on size, large dice
1 smallish red onion, large dice
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped, more or less to taste
1 lime, squeeze juice over the whole thing
Directions
the only thing that makes me sad about this salad is that it could never be as good without fresh corn and we're almost done with corn season here, any suggestions for winter substitutions would be appreciated!
