  • 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine beans, corn, peppers, onion, and cilantro. You may want to consider combining them in a colander first and letting it drain into your sink for a couple minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, lime and lemon juices, sugar, salt, garlic, cumin, chili powder, a splash of hot sauce (optional), and black pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the combined salad ingredients in the bowl. Mix well and refrigerate, covered, ideally for at least 3-4 hours before serving so flavors can mingle.
  4. Dice and mix the avocado into the salad directly before serving.
