Step 1
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 1 cup green beans and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the drained black beans, 1 cup corn, cooked green beans, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 1/2 small chopped red onion.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lime with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Pour over the salad and toss well.
Step 4
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Add chopped cilantro or a dash of cumin if you have them.
