Tomato, Corn, and Black Bean Salsa

If you're looking for a great dish to bring for your 4th of July celebration--look no further.  This salsa comes together in minutes, is fresh, and tastes delicious!  I brought this to a family potluck, thinking it was nice and simple but nothing too special.  To my surprise, it got rave reviews.  I knew if our family enjoyed it (and requested the recipe), it was definitely worth sharing!
