I'm not a big fan of red onion, so I used green onion instead. It was still very good.

I used fresh corn instead of canned and it made a big difference! The corn was so sweet and juicy. I would definitely recommend using fresh corn if you can.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still very good.

I added some chopped avocado to this salad and it was a great addition. The avocado added a creamy texture and a little extra flavor. I would definitely recommend trying it this way.

So easy to make and so delicious! I love that I can use canned beans and corn, so it's a great last-minute side dish. The dressing is simple but flavorful. I will definitely make this again.
