Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Remove the silks from the ears of corn but do not remove the husks. Run some water over the husks of the corn to make them damp. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes Allow to cool slightly.
• Mix black beans, red onion, bell pepper, tomato, jalapeno, garlic and cilantro in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice, oil and cumin together and set aside.
• When corn is cool enough to handle, remove it from the cob with a knife and add to the rest of the vegetables.
• Add the dressing and mix well.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• The salad is best when allowed to sit for an hour.
