Notes

Use dried beans whenever possible. Soak them in water the night before and cook them the next day, making plenty so you can freeze some and use some.
When corn is seasonal, make sure you use fresh corn. It makes a huge difference!
Frozen corn is the next best option, followed by canned corn as our least favorite.
Fresh limes are also much better to juice than store bought juice.
You can add chilli powder, oregano and other seasoning to the salad, however we find this simple version much more satisfying.
If you're not a spicy food fanatic, skip the jalapeños. Or adjust to using half or a quarter only depending on your taste.
This is a one bowl salad, so make sure you use the right size bowl to mix in the dressing. Add the salad ingredients right ontop.
It's best to let the salad sit for 30 minutes so the lime and seasoning can infuse the ingredients before eating it. However it’s tasty still to enjoy right away.
You can make this salad a day in advance, however it's best to add the avocado right before serving.
There so many variations you can make like adding carrots, mango --have you checked this Mango Pico De Gallo? cheese, crushed tortilla chips, pepitas, cooked chicken or shrimp, and so much more.
If cilantro is not your thing, feel free to swap it for parsley and enjoy this black bean and corn salad recipe!
