Ingredients
- 15 oz. can black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 8 oz. edamame, cooked & shelled (about 1.5 cups)
- 1 cup sweet corn, cooked
- 4 roma tomatoes
- 1/3 cup red onion
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 Tbsp. lime juice
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 large ripe avocado
Instructions
- Prepare veggies: Dice the tomatoes and red onion. Roughly chop the cilantro, large stems removed.
- Combine: In a medium bowl, add all ingredients except avocado. Toss to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary (more lime juice, salt, etc.)
- Refrigerate: For best flavor, chill the salad in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving. (Or if you'd like to enjoy this immediately, that's great too! Let it sit at room temperature to marinate for 10-15 minutes instead.)
- Add avocado: When ready to serve, dice avocado, add to bowl, and gently toss. The acidity from the lime juice will help prevent the avocado from browning. I find this salad keeps for about 2-3 days covered in the refrigerator.
