Steps:
- Make the dressing: Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with a pinch of the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Whisk the garlic paste, lime juice, salt and chili powder together in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream.
- For the salad: Cook the corn, bell pepper, and onions in the olive oil until beginning to brown over medium-high heat in a skillet. Toss in the black beans and cook until warm. Add the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and gently fold in the tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Serve.
KALE, AVOCADO, AND BLACK BEAN SALAD
Our family loves this when we are in the mood for something healthy and satisfying. Even my meat-loving husband loved it! My vegetarian daughter thought this was awesome too. Next time I might try adding cranberries, or substituting pepitas for the pecans.

Steps:
- Mix together all of the above ingredients. I'm an avocado lover, so I use three, but two is good. You can use fresh corn if you prefer and also use as much chopped onion or squeezed lime as you like. In fact, all of the ingredients are to your own liking, use as much or as little as you want. The lime juice helps to keep the avocado from turning brown. Refrigerate for a couple of hours and serve cold. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The avocados should be slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy. Ripe avocados will be easier to scoop out and will have a creamier texture.
- Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute dried cilantro, but use only half the amount.
- Don't overcook the black beans: The black beans should be cooked until they are tender, but still hold their shape. Overcooked black beans will be mushy and lose their flavor.
- Add the dressing just before serving: This will help to prevent the salad from getting watery. You can also adjust the amount of dressing to your liking.
Conclusion:
This avocado and black bean salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover black beans. The salad is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at your table.
