BLACK BEAN, CORN & AVACADO SALAD



-1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
-1 can Mexicorn, drained (I use fresh sweet white corn; 2-3 ears)
-1-2/3 cups chopped avocado
-1-1/4 cups chopped cucumber
-1-1/4 cups chopped tomatoes
-1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (sweet or red onion is good too)
-1-1/4 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
-1-1/4 teaspoons lime juice

DRESSING:

-2.5 tablespoons cider vinegar (Sometimes I use rice vinegar instead)
-1 tablespoon and 3/4 teaspoon olive oil
-1-1/4 teaspoons ground cumin (or a bit less if you don't like strong cumin taste)
-3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/8 teaspoon pepper
-I throw in a bunch of cilantro and/or parsley too

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
