Steps:
- In a large serving bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss to combine. Taste, and adjust as necessary until the flavors really pop-I usually add another teaspoon or two of vinegar (you can use lime juice instead, for more mild flavor) and another 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cover and chill to enhance the flavors-preferably for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Serve in individual bowls as is, or with any of the garnishes listed. Leftovers keep well for up to 4 days or so; you might want to wake up the flavors with an extra squeeze of lime juice or tiny splash of vinegar.

Steps:
- Rinse the Goya canned black beans well then boil in water for 30 minutes, strain the water off.
- Rinse the canned corn, then boil in water for 10 minutes then strain and set aside to cool.
- Mix all ingredients in large bowl.
- Let rest for 2 hours under refrigeration before serving.
- Eat within 2 days or so due to all the liquid and the avocados.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm black beans: Look for beans that are plump and have a deep black color. Avoid beans that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
- Rinse the beans thoroughly before cooking: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Cook the beans until they are tender but still hold their shape: Overcooked beans will be mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your salad: This will add flavor, color, and texture. Some good options include corn, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and cilantro.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings: A simple vinaigrette is a good starting point, but you can also try a creamy dressing or a salsa-based dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later: Black bean salad is a great make-ahead dish.
Conclusion:
Black bean salad is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover black beans, and it's also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a black bean salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
