FIESTA BLACK BEAN SALAD

Fiesta Black Bean Salad image

I made this up as something to go with my chicken mole recipe, since I wasn't really in the mood for something like Spanish rice or refried beans. I think it makes a great side dish for Mexican food! This also would make a great salsa or dip.

Ingredients

1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped fine
1/2 cup chopped red onions or 1/2 cup scallion
1/4 cup frozen sweet corn, thawed
1 -2 fresh jalapenos or 1 -2 other hot pepper, sliced into rings
1 lime (juiced)
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro (coriander)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 ripe avocado, diced (but on the firm side)
1 -2 clove garlic, chopped
salt (to taste)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

Combine ingredients, mixing well.
Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
Note: the best way to dice an avocado is to cut it in half up to the seed all the way around, wiggle it apart, take a knife and pry out the seed, then cut the flesh into a cross-hatch without cutting through the skin, then scooping out the fruit with a larger thin spoon, as close to the skin as you can get.
