  • 1/4 cup olive oil


  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced (add more if you like garlic)


  • 1 teaspoon salt


  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
    (Like things spicy? Add more!)

  • 2 (15 ounce) can of corn kernels

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped


  • 6 green onions, thinly sliced


  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)


  • Cherry tomatoes (1 small package or more to taste)


    • Directions

    Put lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small container or jar. Cover with a lid, and shake well.

    In a salad bowl, combine beans, corn, bell pepper, tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro. Shake lime dressing once more and pour it over the salad. Stir salad to coat vegetables and beans with dressing.

    Add avocado and tomatoes, and toss just enough to mix them into the salad. This spicy corn salad is best served cold.
