Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the canned black beans thoroughly to remove excess sodium.

If using frozen corn, thaw and drain well. If using fresh corn, slice the kernels off the cob. Drain canned corn if using.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and cilantro.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the mixing bowl.

Step 6

Gently toss everything together until thoroughly combined and evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice according to preference.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light meal.
