If using dry beans, sort through beans to remove any debris, then wash and place in a large pan or bowl with about 6 cups water. Soak overnight. Pour off soaking water and place in a pot with 3 1/2 cups fresh water. Bring to a simmer and cook until beans are just tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Although the beans should be thoroughly cooked, in this case they should not be overcooked. Drain and cool the cooked beans. If you are using canned beans, simply drain them and proceed.

Combine beans with corn, tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, and cilantro, if using. Whisk together remaining ingredients and pour over salad. Toss gently to mix.
