Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño if using.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, Guacamole Infused Olive Oil Blend, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and cumin until well blended.
  3. Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Fold in the diced avocado carefully so it stays chunky.
  5. Taste and adjust with a little more salt, lime juice, or black pepper if needed.
  6. Serve right away, or chill for 10 to 15 minutes for a more blended flavor.
  7. If using lettuce, layer it on plates or in a bowl before spooning the salad over the top.

Notes

This salad is meant to be fresh, colorful, and flexible. For the best texture, add avocado close to serving time and keep the dressing simple so the Guacamole Infused Olive Oil Blend stays front and center. It can be served as a side, starter, or light lunch.
