A refreshing and vibrant salad perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Rinse and drain the black beans and place them in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the beans are well-drained to avoid excess liquid in the salad.
Add the sweet corn kernels to the bowl.
If using frozen corn, thaw it beforehand for the best texture.
Chop the celery and red onion finely and add them to the bowl.
Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces for even distribution.
Add the salsa, lime juice, and chopped cilantro to the bowl.
Adjust the amount of salsa and lime juice to suit your taste preferences.
Toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Mix gently to avoid mashing the beans.
Serve the salad immediately or chill for 15 minutes before serving.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
