Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 small garlic clove
1 pinch salt, plus
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 limes (about 3 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears)
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small Hass avocado, halved, seeded and diced
1/4 cup cilantro leaves and stems, chopped

Steps:

Make the dressing: Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with a pinch of the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Whisk the garlic paste, lime juice, salt and chili powder together in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream.
For the salad: Cook the corn, bell pepper, and onions in the olive oil until beginning to brown over medium-high heat in a skillet. Toss in the black beans and cook until warm. Add the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and gently fold in the tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Serve.

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -3 avocados, chopped
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10 ounce) package frozen white corn, cooked and drained
1/4-1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 lime, juice of, freshly squeezed
1 dash coarse salt
1 dash olive oil

Steps:

Mix together all of the above ingredients. I'm an avocado lover, so I use three, but two is good. You can use fresh corn if you prefer and also use as much chopped onion or squeezed lime as you like. In fact, all of the ingredients are to your own liking, use as much or as little as you want. The lime juice helps to keep the avocado from turning brown. Refrigerate for a couple of hours and serve cold. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 1 salad, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 avocados, peeled and cut in chunks
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, large, minced (about 2/3 cup)
1 cup cilantro, fresh, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup olive oil
2 limes, juice of (I prefer to use 3 small key limes but either will work)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

Combine avocadoes, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, bell peppers and black beans in a large bowl. Stir to blend. Drizzle with the olive oil (doesn't have to be an exact measure -- just a good swirl over the bowl to moisten) and add the lime juice and stir to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers (if there are any!).
