Ingredients
For Lime Dressing:
- ½ cup fresh lime juice about 4-5 limes + bit more for sprinkling
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 TB pure honey
- 2 ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
For Salad:
- 30 oz black beans from cans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels drained
- 1 medium cucumber peeled, seeded, and diced
- 2 medium tomatoes seeded and diced
- ½ cup sweet onion vidalia, chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 3 whole semi-firm avocados see note
Instructions
- Make the Dressing: combine all dressing ingredients in a bowl. Whisk to incorporate well. Can be made a day or two ahead of time; cover and chill until ready to use.
- In serving bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except for avocados. Toss so the ingredients are well mixed - avocados will be mixed in last, to prevent browning.
- Whisk the lime dressing again and immediately pour over the salad. Use rubber spatula to gently toss salad with dressing to coat evenly. Cover and chill at least 4 hours up to overnight, so flavors can infuse. Just before serving, peel and dice avocados. Use rubber spatula to gently fold avocado into salad and serve with tortilla chips.
