  • 1 can black beans (15 oz), rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 piece ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 piece bell pepper (red or yellow), diced
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional) Can be omitted if desired.
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • dash cumin (optional) For an extra kick.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by rinsing the black beans under cold water and draining them thoroughly. If you’re using corn from a can, rinse it as well.
  2. Dice the avocado, bell pepper, and onion, and halve the grape tomatoes.
Mixing
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, diced avocado, bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes.
  2. Squeeze the juice of two limes over the salad, ensuring everything gets a nice tangy flavor. Add salt, pepper, and cumin if you want an extra kick.
  3. Carefully toss the salad to combine, making sure not to mash the avocado.
Serving
  1. If desired, top with fresh cilantro for that extra pop of flavor. Enjoy immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for the best taste!

Notes

For best results, prepare your salad fresh. If you make it ahead of time, wait to add the avocado until you’re ready to serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container; it stays fresh for 1-2 days.
