Black Bean and Corn Salad
This salad is good for vegetarians and vegans alike. It's filling and packed with nutrients, and the dressing is full of heart-healthy fats. It's also easy to make, and works well with various grains and vegetables. It pairs well with veggie burgers, tacos, and other Mexican-inspired foods. It can also be prepared up to three days ahead. If you want to serve it right away, add the avocado last. Then mix and chill.
