Dice

Finely dice the bell pepper, tomatoes, jalapeño, and red onion. Try to dice the vegetables into pieces that are roughly the same size as the beans. For a less spicy salad, scrape the seeds out of the jalapeño before dicing. Roughly chop the cilantro.

Serve

Pour the dressing over the salad, then stir until everything is well coated. You can serve it immediately, but the flavor gets even better if left to marinate in the fridge for ⏱️ 30 minutes to overnight. Add the avocado, if using (optional) before serving. Enjoy!
