Ingredients
Dressing:
- 1 small clove garlic
- 1 1/2 limes, juiced (about 3 tablespoons)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salad:
- 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 1/3 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears)
- 1 orange or yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small Hass avocado, halved, seeded and diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, leaves and stems
Directions
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, remaining 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: Toss together the beans, corn, bell pepper, and onions. Add the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Gently fold in the tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

This recipe was just what I was looking for, quite flavorful as well. I didn't really measure anything, and left out the corn and avocado; neither did I have many tomatoes, but it was very good indeed. Will definitely make it again.

I prepared this the day before serving, save for the avocados that I gently tossed in right before serving. I will definitely make this again, as it is a very healthy and fresh-tasting way to get beans and veggies into your meal. (I can't recall as I write this if there is lime zest used in the recipe here, but I added it myself and it was a perfect touch!

Made this for a 5 de mayo dinner and it was a hit. I added an extra avocado because I love the creaminess that it adds to the salad and it seemed like it could use another one. Delicious and refreshing!
