Ingredients :
  • For the dressing:
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle chiles in adobo sauce minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • For the salad:

  • 3/4 cup frozen corn thawed
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado pitted, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 medium tomato cored, seeded, and diced

Directions :
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together scallions, lime juice, olive oil, chipotles, honey, and salt and pepper to taste (I like ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper).
  2. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add corn and cook until brown spots form, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, add corn, black beans, avocado, tomatoes, and cilantro. Drizzle with dressing and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
