Preparation
- Prepare the salsa: In a bowl, mix the diced tomatoes, lime juice, red onion, chili pepper (if using), cumin, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let sit to enhance the flavors.
- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, green bell pepper, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Toss gently.
- Mix everything: Pour the prepared salsa over the salad and mix well to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Let it rest: Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Final touch: Add the diced avocado right before serving for extra freshness and creaminess.
