Cuban Bean Salad image

Cuban cuisine is a fusion of Spanish, African and Caribbean cuisines and closely resembles that of other Caribbean nations such as Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Panama of Central America. While various parts of the island were influenced by many different immigrants, the Cuban cuisines developed locally, from the influences and demographics specific to each area.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra cumin and chili powder to give it more flavor.

This Cuban bean salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and the flavors just got better overnight.

I've never been a big fan of bean salads, but this one changed my mind. The combination of black beans, corn, and red bell pepper is perfect.
