Notes

  • Make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you are ready to serve. It is one of those recipes that actually tastes better if it has a chance to sit.
  • Make sure to drain the black beans and corn well and pat the cilantro dry after you rinse it. This prevents the dressing from being runny.
  • Want it a little spicy? Dice up a jalapeno and stir it into the veggie mix.
