This is an amazing salad, perfect side dish, dip or full meal. There is no doubt that this salad is on top of my list when barbecuing, grilling burgers or when I need a potluck dish because it's always a hit, i use it as a garnish in our meat tacos or a a topping in our burgers. My Ron always asks for it. When entertaining friends i like to set out an assortment of chips and serve it as an appetizer dip, then I watch it disappear quickly. If you're a vegetarian, and looking for a perfect meal this is it, just leave out the cheese and your set, you can make the perfect lettuce tacos, always crunchy and delicious. It's always best when eaten the same day, or your avocado can turn brown, this BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD, is easy to make and it's loaded with nutrients.
