A vibrant and flavorful salad combining fresh vegetables and a tangy dressing, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the black beans, corn, chickpeas, green peas, olives, red bell pepper, red onion, and jicama in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the beans and peas are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, cumin, and salt.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before adding it to the salad.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the beans and peas.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the salad and give it a final toss.
Add the cilantro just before serving to maintain its fresh flavor.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to keep the salad fresh while chilling.
