Avocado, Bean and Corn Salsa

MAKES
4 cups

Did you know avocados contain nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and mono- and polyunsaturated good fats? And, since one-fifth of an avocado, a typical serving, has only 50 calories, using avocados in this lively salsa is a healthy eating idea.

What You'll Need

  • 1/4 cup store-bought vinaigrette
  • 1/4 cup (about 3) thinly sliced scallions (green onions)
  • 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro or parsley
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 fully ripened avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced

What to Do

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together salad dressing, scallions, cilantro, lime peel, and salt.
     
  2. Add beans, corn and pepper; toss to coat. Add avocados; toss gently.
