Notes
- Make sure you rinse the canned beans well to get all the salty canning liquid off of them.
- The jalapeno and cilantro are both optional. If you aren't someone who likes a little kick, skip the jalapeno. And if you think cilantro tastes like soap, just skip it.
- A diced avocado would also taste very good in this salad.
