A vibrant and flavorful bean salad with a zesty dressing, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the beans, celery, onion, tomato, and corn in a large mixing bowl.
Rinse the beans thoroughly to remove excess sodium and improve flavor.
In a small bowl, mix together the salsa, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and cumin.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more lime juice or chili powder.
Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Use a gentle tossing motion to avoid mashing the beans.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
For best results, prepare the salad a day in advance.
Serve the salad chilled and enjoy as a side dish or a light meal.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.
