Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • - 1 cucumber diced
  • - 1 bell pepper any color, diced
  • - 1 cup corn fresh or canned
  • - 1 avocado diced
  • - 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
  • - 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, corn, avocado, black beans, red onion, and cilantro. Gently toss the ingredients to verify they're evenly mixed.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined. This will be your dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the mixed salad ingredients. Carefully toss the salad again to coat all the vegetables and beans with the dressing.
  • Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice according to your preference.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
  • For extra tips, consider adding some grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for added protein if you want to make this salad a complete meal.
  • You can also experiment with different dressings or toppings, such as feta cheese or a sprinkle of chili powder for added kick. Enjoy your fresh and vibrant non-pasta salad!
