Ingredients
- 15 oz canned red beans

Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned red beans thoroughly and set aside.

Finely chop the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), roma tomatoes, red onion, and fresh cilantro.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the red beans, chopped vegetables, and the creamy lime dressing. Mix gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and garnish with extra cilantro leaves, if desired.
