Guacamole Salad
Ingredients
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 small can of mexicorn, drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup small diced red onion
- 2 minced jalapeno peppers ( I keep the seeds for spice but they can be seeded)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes)
- 1/4 cup good olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (you can use less, but I like it spicy)
- 2 ripe Hass avocados, seeded, peeled, and 1/2-inch diced
Directions
Place the tomatoes, corn, black beans, red onion, jalapeno peppers, and lime zest in a large bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper and pour over the vegetables. Toss well.
Just before you're ready to serve the salad, fold the avocados into the salad. Check the seasoning and serve at room temperature. It's good as a salad, or some people prefer it with tortilla chips.
