Black Bean and Avocado Salad

This was a flavorful accompaniment to our cook-out a few days ago. We started our grill up as soon as the weather allowed! (And sometimes not.)

• 2 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can of corn
• 2 red bell peppers, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 shallot, minced
• 2 teaspoons salt
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Extra virgin olive oi, enough to create a nice dressing with the lime juice, salt, cayenne, and sugar)
• Fresh lime juice (to your liking...I probably used 5 tablespoons or so).
• ½ cup chopped cilantro
• 2 avocados, diced

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Serve at room temperature.
