Black Bean Salad

This salad is a perfect compliment to anything you throw on the grill this summer. It can also be enjoyed all by itself if you do not enjoy meat. 

It benefits from a couple of hours in the refrigerator prior to being consumed. 

Ingredients:

15 oz canned black beans rinsed

2 tomatoes, minced

1 green pepper, minced

Corn from one corn of the cob, lightly cooked

1/3 cup cilantro, chopped

1 avocado, cubed

1/3-1/2 cup salsa, I like Trader Joe's Spicy Smokey Peach Salsa.

1/4  cup olive oil

Juice from 1-2 limes

1-2 teaspoons Ground Cumin

1 clove minced garlic

1/2- 1 teaspoon Chipotle in Adobe sauce or another pepper to your liking.

Directions:

Mix the vegetables except from the avocado which is cubed and added just before serving.

In a separate container mix  the rest of the ingredients and pour over the vegetables. Mix well. 

Let sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours prior to serving.
