Rinsing canned beans and vegetables washes away excess canning sodium.
2
Wash bell pepper, scallions, and cilantro. Dice the pepper into small cubes (approx. 5mm), thinly slice scallions, and coarsely chop cilantro.
3
In a spacious salad bowl, combine drained black beans, corn, diced bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
4
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt until nicely blended.
