Colorful Black Bean and Crab Salad

This is a very colourful side dish that I serve with jerk chicken or barbecued steaks. I quite often will take this to a pot luck along with several copies of the recipe, as it is always requested. For more of a bite, add a finely chopped jalapeño directly to the salad in addition to the sliced jalapeños on top. 
== Ingredients ==
* 2 cups frozen corn, thawed
* 1 (19 ounces) can black beans, drained and rinsed
* ¼ cup red peppers, chopped
* 1 (4 ounces) can green chilies, drained
* ¼ cup minced cilantro
* 4 green onions, chopped
* 12 ounces surimi (artificial crab meat)
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon cumin

* 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
* 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
* 2 teaspoons water
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 jalapeño peppers, sliced
