Ingredients
Scale:

1 cup corn, fresh or canned, drained
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely diced (optional)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the lime dressing by whisking together the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld for at least 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced avocados, chopped tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, corn, black beans, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).
Gently toss the salad ingredients together using a large spoon or spatula.
Drizzle the prepared lime dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
