2 ~ 15 ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp. fine sea salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 & 1/2 cups (thawed & drained) frozen white or sweet corn
1 avocado seeded, peeled, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 medium tomatoes, 1/2 ” pieces
6 green onions, w/ tops, finely chopped
1 fresh hot chili pepper, seeded & minced
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro

Put lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt & cayenne in a small jar, cover and shake to mix.

Place all remaining ingredients in a salad bowl. Shake lime dressing onto salad, stir. Can be prepared a few hours ahead, but waiting to add avocado until serving time will keep the green avocado color.

Refrigerate, serve cold. Serves 8-10 as side dish. Great the next day as a dip w/ tortilla chips!!
