  • Let the salad cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to become more flavorful.
  • Feel free to customize the salad to your own taste: Add more or less vegetables, herbs, or dressing as desired. You can also use different types of beans, such as pinto beans or kidney beans.
