Tips:

Choose the freshest ingredients available. Fresh corn, black beans, white beans, tomatoes, and cilantro will give your salad the best flavor.
Don't overcook the corn. You want the corn to be tender, but not mushy. Cook it for just a few minutes until it is bright yellow and slightly tender.
Use a variety of beans. Black beans and white beans are a classic combination, but you can also use kidney beans, pinto beans, or any other type of bean you like.
Don't skimp on the cilantro. Cilantro adds a bright, fresh flavor to the salad. Use at least 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro, or more if you like.
Use a tangy dressing. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a great way to dress this salad. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to choose one that is not too sweet.
Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best when served fresh. However, you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

This black, white bean, & corn salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this one a try!
