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. I love this recipe 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.
