No-Cook Black Bean Salad

Ingredients

½ cup thinly sliced red onion

• 1 medium ripe avocado, pitted and roughly chopped
• ¼ cup cilantro leaves

¼ cup lime juice

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced

½ teaspoon salt

• 8 cups mixed salad greens
• 2 medium ears corn, kernels removed, or 2 cups frozen corn, thawed and patted dry
• 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed

Directions

1. Place onion in a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside. Combine avocado, cilantro, lime juice, oil, garlic and salt in a mini food processor. Process, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth and creamy.
2. Just before serving, combine salad greens, corn, tomatoes and beans in a large bowl. Drain the onions and add to the bowl, along with the avocado dressing. Toss to coat.
