Black Bean, Corn, Tomato & Avocado Salad

I am in love with this Black Bean, Corn, Tomato & Avocado Salad. It is a vegetarian recipe that is light and fresh for summer. It is so easy to prepare and filled with super foods that are so good for your body. I prepared it in minutes and took it to the pool to enjoy for lunch. It left me feeling full all day. It is naturally gluten free too! It is perfect for carb cycling.

I made mine with fresh corn but you can use frozen if you want too.  This salad is great to eat alone or as a side.  It is also a clean eating recipe full of amazing fiber.  I also love to use Dry Beans instead of canned as it is a huge money saver.  This is a great tip for making Black Beans in the crockpot.
