Avocado Salsa

Ingredients:

2 cans black beans, rinsed & drained

1 bag frozen, super sweet, petite corn

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small purple onion (chopped finely)

1/2 bunch of cilantro (chopped finely)

3-4 avocados, diced

1/3 cup olive oil

1/3 cup lime juice

2-3 cloves of minced garlic

1 tsp salt

1-2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:

Prep all ingredients except avocados & lime juice in large bowl (the colors make this dish very decorative, so I ususally serve in a glass bowl). Stir together & refrigerate until ready to serve. Add avocados right before serving with lime juice on top to help avoid browning of avocados. This is great with "Hint of Lime" tortilla chips.
