Notes
- Adjust the amount of acidity: Either reduce the amount of lime juice added OR balance the acidity with a small amount of sweetener.
- Allow it to marinate: We’ve suggested at least 10 minutes of ‘resting’ time before enjoying the Mexican three bean salad. But, if you have the patience, 30 minutes is even better! This will allow all the flavors in the salad to meld for a better overall flavor.
- Top tip for low budgets: Dried beans are more inexpensive than canned and can be cooked in large batches and stored in the freezer.
- If adding avocado: Only add it when serving to avoid it browning within the salad as it sits.
