This easy Southwestern-style salad combines inky black beans, fresh jalapeños, and corn for a colorful and picnic-friendly dish. The dish gets its bold flavor from a dose of bright-but-basic chili-lime vinaigrette. The secret to its success ie a sprinkling of corn chips for some textural crunch and an extra hit of salt.
Note:The black bean salad is equally enjoyable cold or at room temperature. Make it at least an hour ahead since you'll want to let the flavors meld, but wait to garnish it with the corn chips and cilantro until you're ready to serve the beans. You want the chips to remain crackly and the herbs vibrant and bright.
