FacebookBlack Bean, Corn and Avocado Salad
This quick and easy salad has corn, black beans, avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. It is seasoned with cumin and oregano. It makes a quick and easy summer supper. Since It has been so incredibly hot here in Florida, and I have been trying to make more salads that serve as main course dishes. This recipe was sent to to me by my sister-in-law. It looked so good, I just had to make it the next day. I made a few modifications, like changing green onions for red onions, and using fresh oregano instead of dried. I have planted some herbs in containers on my patio that come in very handy.

- 1 tomato, diced
- the juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- the leaves from 2 – 3 sprigs of fresh oregano (I had some growing on the patio)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Add all diced vegetables and oregano to a large bowl.
- Add lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve over salad greens. [/print_this]

Love the brightness of the colors and the flavors in this. Great pic too.
now this is my kind of salad, thank your sister-in-law – love everything about it, even the red onions…
Great salad and an amazing photo Angie. That is my kind of eating. I would have changed out the green onions for red onion too, good choice! It always amazed me how Haas avocados have a much deeper flavor than Florida avocados. I had a boss who would never use Florida avocados in the restaurant. She called them flat!
Corn and avocado are such wonderful vegetables/fruits, and I love how the black beans give the dish some extra nutrition. I can imagine eating this with a big bowl of chips or some freshly made flour tortillas. Such great colors too!
this is a superb salad, angie! frankly, i’m drawn to anything and everything involving the amazing avocado.

A great summer alternative to the boring salad. It went great with my grilled steak and a beer!

gotta love steak and beer!
Hooray for using canned corn! Even if it wasn’t a hot day, I wouldn’t be any too keen on cooking fresh corn “just” to go into salad.

I know, I like fresh corn, but why heat up the house?
