Corn Avocado & Tomato Salad

Spring is in the air and I have to give my neighbor credit for this delicious and refreshing salad!   We have made this salad on a few occasions at our house and it is always a big hit! It is a great dish to bring to a spring/summer party or pair with anything on the grill.

2 T olive oil
2 T fresh lime juice
1/4 c fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 c fresh corn kernels or frozen corn
1 1/2 c diced avocado
1/2 c finely diced red onion
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 can black beans, rinsed

In a large bowl whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper.  Add corn, avocado, tomatoes, onions and black beans.  Toss to mix.  Before mixing in the avocado, squeeze the juice of another lime over the avocado to keep it from turning brown.
