Mexican Bean Salad image

This is the perfect salad to take to a family reunion or potluck. It's colorful, keeps well and is full of flavor without being too spicy or vinegary. I think the Sun Vista brand of beans has the best flavor for this recipe. Passive cooking time is chill time.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but this salad changed my mind. It's so flavorful and satisfying. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it a day or two in advance and it will still taste great.

I love that this salad is so versatile. You can easily add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I sometimes add some chopped jalapenos for a little extra spice.

This Mexican bean salad was a hit at my last potluck! It's super easy to make and always disappears quickly. I love the combination of flavors and textures - the beans, corn, tomatoes, and cilantro all work so well together.
