Cucumber, Black Bean, Avocado, Corn & Tomato Salad

By Sandybehr

Everyone is going to thank you for making this refreshing salad. Crafted with basic ingredients, it's not only low in calories, but it's also a great way to combine the flavors of cucumbers, tomatoes, and cilantro. We don't blame you if you eat this salad every single day — it's that good. It also tastes better after marinating in the lime juice for a while, so you could easily make this the night before eating.

Ingredients

• 1 English cucumber, diced
• 1 can black beans, rinsed
• 1 1/4 cups corn
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (I used half red, half yellow)
• 1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime
• 1 avocado, diced
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Place the cucumber, black beans, corn, red pepper, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Squeeze the fresh juice from the lime onto the salad, and stir well.

Mix in the avocado right before serving, season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
