Avocado Black Bean And Corn Salad

Avocado, Black Bean and Corn Salad is a gluten free vegan recipe that is bursting with fresh and colorful flavors!
This is a delicious side dish that goes great at any picnic. It keeps great prepared even the day before and adding the dressing just before serving.
This is perfect for all in one bowl side dish for your family picnic, events and holiday get together's.

Easy to prepare

You can either make the beans fresh or canned.

I usually put my dried package of black beans in the slow cooker overnight and in the morning they are perfectly cooked.

Remember this recipe is just a guideline on quantities. Add more or less to the group of folks your entertaining.

With a large crowd, I usually double this recipe and keep half in the refrigerator undressed and add it to the bowl when it's almost gone.

It keeps it fresh like I just made it, instead of mushy vegetables from the dressing being on it too long.

A colorful vegetable side dish

I usually make a big batch of boiled corn on the cob and take it off the cob with a sharp knife.

That makes it easier to add more to this salad.

I usually don't mix it all together as you have noticed, some folks can't eat corn or don't like beans, so they can scoop out just what they like!

Set up a salad station for picky eaters!

As I said some guests can't eat some of the vegetables in the salad, or just don't like them.

I get a large platter ready with shredded lettuce, cubed cheeses, green beans, raw cauliflower and broccoli florets, mushrooms, sliced radishes, chickpeas, chopped onions.

I also will have other dressing handy.

We have many picky eaters along with family members who can't digest some of the skins on the vegetables.

We are all Big Fans Of All Kinds of Salads and the Fixin's

Lucky for me, everyone loves avocados. Salads are always on our dinner table.

I am a big black bean fan and this is kind of like a salsa salad.

Adding any of the other suggestions above to the avocado with black bean and corn salad is an even bigger insentif for everyone;

Just remember you can mix it all together, I chose to keep it all separated to please everyone.

It gives me the freedom of having everything we love in one big bowl easy to eat, especially the corn!

The lime dressing is the perfect combinations for flavors in any of the California style, Southwestern or Tex Mex salads.

This Avocado and Black Bean Corn Salad is almost like having an avocado black bean salsa!
