Mexican Black Bean and Corn Salad
This black bean and corn salad have all summer flavors in one bowl. The black beans, corn, red peppers, jalapeno, and avocado are tossed in a zesty cilantro lime dressing for a fresh taste that’s perfect on its own or in any meal.
This salad is so easy and requires just 10 minutes from start to finish. You can even make it ahead of time if you want to get ahead on your meal prep! It’s great on its own as a side dish or served as a dip for chips or as a topping for grilled meats or fish.
