Ingredients
  • 2 ripe avocados diced
  • ¼ small red onion diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • kernels from 2 ears fresh corn
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Dressing:
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • juice from ½ to 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
  1. Soak the diced red onion in a bowl of cold water for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Grill or broil the ears of corn and remove the kernels from the cob. Alternately, you can remove the kernels from the cob and then sauté or air-fry the kernels tossed in a little oil. Allow the corn kernels to cool and then place them in a large bowl.
  3. Make the dressing by whisking together the red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, chili powder and lime juice in a separate bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil and season to taste with more salt and freshly ground black pepper if needed.
  4. Drain the red onion well and add it to the bowl with the corn, along with the diced avocado, cherry tomatoes and black beans. Drizzle the dressing over top and gently toss everything together. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add the fresh cilantro and serve.
  5. **You can make this salad a day ahead of time. Just leave out the diced avocado until you are ready to serve.
