Black Bean and Corn Salad
Instructions
Prep:20min
This black bean and corn salad is a delicious summer side dish or healthy lunch! It keeps well for up to 3 days in the fridge, but if you're making it in advance, wait to add the avocado until right before you eat. Otherwise, it will start to brown.

![So very tasty. Pic is before I've added avocado 🥑 [sorry that's a bit obvious really isn't it!?] and after it's been in the fridge for a couple of hours for the flavours to combine and do their thing. They've done their thing and it really is quite delicious. I've added extra fresh green chilli as I just adore 🌶
A lovely fresh, colourful and versatile salad. Thumbs up 👍 from me!
Oh I didnt add cheese as I didn't want to on this occasion. Or pepito as don't have 'em in my neck of the woods! 😀](https://art.whisk.com/image/upload/fl_progressive,h_120,w_120,c_fill,dpr_2.0/v1723407703/v3/user-recipes/e05f65fd1c5762e1e3c6319863a3fe4f.jpg)
