Preparation:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beans, rice, scallions, tomatoes, cucumber, and, if desired, jalapeno. Blend in the oil, lime juice, cilantro, and seasonings.
Chill for 1 hour before serving.
TIP: For a slight twist, add 2 roasted, seeded, and chopped red bell peppers or try New Mexico chili peppers.
