- 1 large red onion (chopped)
- 15 ounces black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
For the dressing:
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Just before serving:

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shucked corn, cover, and turn the heat off. Allow the corn to cook with the heat off for 10 minutes. Remove the corn from the water and let cool. 2 ears of fresh corn
- Meanwhile, place the chopped red onions in a small bowl and cover with water. Let sit about ten minutes, then drain completely in a sieve and set aside. This step is optional, but makes the onions less strong. 1 large red onion
- Holding the cooled corn upright in a large bowl, cut the kernels off the cob in strips. Add the beans, red onion, red bell pepper and cilantro to the bowl with the corn. 15 ounces black beans, 1 red bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Make the dressing by combining all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth. 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 large garlic clove, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, a few cilantro leaves, if desired
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Right before serving, cube avocado. Place in a bowl, and gently toss with juice from half a lemon. Add to salad and toss gently. 1 avocado, 1/2 lemon
- Garnish with a fresh squeeze of lime, lime wedges, and fresh chopped cilantro. Serve cold.
