Tomatillo, Bean and Roasted Corn Salad (or modified Cowboy Caviar)

Combine:
1 lb tomatillos, peeled and chopped (substitute tomatoes if you can't find tomatillos)
1 lg onion, small dice
1 green bell pepper, small dice
1 red bell pepper, small dice
2 jalapenos, chopped, for mild salad; use more and include ribs and seeds for spicy
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 bag frozen roasted corn (Trader Joe's is good), thawed or cut kernals off of 3-4 fresh cobs
3/4 c cilantro, chopped

Toss above with this dressing:
4 T olive oil
4 T lime juice
1 T sugar
1 T salt
1 t pepper
2 t cumin

Whisk together.

Serve on its own or with tortilla chips. It was really nice over a bed of arugula.
