Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) sweet corn, drained (or 2 cups fresh corn)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and drain the black beans and corn.
  2. Dice the bell pepper, onion, and avocado. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the fresh cilantro.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, bell pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, and avocado. Stir gently to mix.
  4. Squeeze lime juice over the salad, add olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well-coated.
  5. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Notes

  • For variations, substitute black beans for chickpeas or kidney beans, and use lemon juice instead of lime.
  • To make it spicy, add jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container; avoid adding avocado if storing, as it can brown quickly.
  • Salad lasts in the fridge for up to 3 days.
