Black Bean and Corn Salsa

Now that it's summer, I am gearing up to make my summer favorites.  I make this for when we are seating around the pool and it's sooo good!

Black Bean and Corn Salsa
adapted from Black Bean and Corn Salad II on allrecipes.com

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (or less depending on your preference)
1/3 cup olive oil
2 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3 1/2 to 4 cups of black beans, drained (I use dried that I have cooked)
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
1 red pepper, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Directions
1.  Place lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small jar.  Cover with lid, and shake until ingredients are well mixed.
2.  In a salad bowl, combine beans, corn, bell pepper, green onions, cilantro.  Shake lime dressing and pour over the salsa.  Stir salad to coat vegetables and beans.  Add avocado and tomatoes last.
3.  Serve with tortilla chips.

ENJOY!!!
