1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 cup canola oil

Tips:

  • Rinse and Drain Beans Properly: Before using canned beans, rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess salt and starch. Drain well.
  • Chop Vegetables Uniformly: For even cooking and a cohesive salad, chop the vegetables into uniform pieces.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley add a burst of flavor. Chop them finely just before serving.
  • Let the Salad Marinate: Allow the salad to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve at Room Temperature: Bring the salad to room temperature before serving. This allows the flavors to fully shine.
