Directions
Step 1
Rinse and drain the black beans in a colander. Allow them to dry as you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2
If using fresh corn, carefully cut the kernels off the cob to yield about 1 cup. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely and pat dry.
Step 3
Chop the red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into cubes.
Step 5
Finely dice the red onion, aiming for uniform small pieces.
Step 6
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters if they are larger in size.
Step 7
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
Step 8
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn kernels, red bell pepper, avocado cubes, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro.
Step 9
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 10
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together to ensure an even coating.
Step 11
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if desired.
Step 12
Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
