I love this Southwestern black bean salad when the weather warms, it makes enough to feed a crowd. Also makes a great side dish or appetizer if served with chips or as a topping for taco salads. You can even serve with grilled meat and fresh tortillas.

Southwestern Black Bean Salad

This vibrant Southwestern black bean salad is one of my favorites as the temperatures rise; it’s perfect for gatherings with its generous portion size. It also shines as a delightful side dish or appetizer, especially when paired with tortilla chips or used as a zesty topping for taco salads. For an extra treat, try it alongside grilled meats and warm tortillas for a complete meal.
