another bean and corn salad

1 cup dried black or other beans, soaked, then cooked.  or a can.
2 cup frozen corn
cilantro, to taste, chopped
other herbs if you want, I like chives as they grow plentiful in my garden.
chopped tomato
some lime juice to taste
some chopped kumquat peels (optional)
1 ripe mango or 1/2 ripe cantaloupe chopped, or grapes cut in half (1 cup?)

cook the beans for a few hours on the stove or 5 minutes in the pressure cooker (if they are small, 10 minutes if they are bigger).  Drain the beans, add the frozen corn.  That will thaw the corn and cool the beans.  If you use a can of beans, then don't worry about it, the corn will thaw eventually, but you can always heat it up in the microwave if you want.    Add everything else.
