Avocado Salad, with corn, black beans, tomatoes and salsa

With just a couple of ingredients, you make this avocado salad.

To make things easy, here is a picture of all the ingredients:

- 3 avocados (make sure they are ripe!  They should give gently when squeezed)
- 1 can corn, rinsed
- 1 can black beans, rinsed
- handful of tomatoes
- 1/4 cup salsa
- salt to taste
- cumin to taste.

1. To prepare the avocado, slice it in half all the way around the pit.  Open the fruit, and hit your knife blade against the pit.  Turn the knife slightly, and the pit will release.  Then pull the peel away.  The most nutrients are right between the peel and the fruit, so you want to keep as much fruit as possible.  Then dice the fruit, and place into bowl.

2.  Add corn.

3. Add tomatoes.

4. Add black beans.



5. Add salsa. I say 1/4 cup in the ingredient list, but feel free to add more and less to your liking. 

6.  Add salt and cumin to taste.

Give it a good mix to incorporate everything.  Remember, the more you mix it the creamier it will get.

I served this salad with flour tortillas and fruit.  If you want to keep tortillas out of the picture, you could use cucumber or bell pepper slices. 

** Remember, my little ones are 5 and 3, so I need to be mindful of the heat level.  It would be fantastic with some red onion and jalapenos! 




Smacznego!
