A vibrant and flavorful salad combining beans, corn, and fresh vegetables, perfect for any occasion.
Drain and rinse all the canned beans and corn.
Rinsing canned beans removes excess sodium and improves their flavor.
Dice the tomatoes and onion, and finely chop the cilantro.
Use a sharp knife for precise cuts and to avoid bruising the vegetables.
Combine the beans, corn, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro in a large bowl.
Gently mix to avoid mashing the beans.
Add the cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice to the bowl and mix thoroughly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the salad chilled as a side dish or a light main course.
Garnish with additional cilantro or a slice of lime for presentation.
