And it’s a feast for the eyes. Just look at this salad – yellow corn, rosy red tomatoes, black beans, red onion, ripe avocados, and fresh cilantro – doesn’t it just look delicious. Excuse me while my mouth waters.

I made this salad for dinner the other night. We all loved the bright colours, even my daughter wanted to try it right away.

No matter how good this looks, it tastes even better. (Don’t you love when that happens!) We were all reaching for seconds and thirds that night.

Everyone was asking for seconds and even thirds.

And if you happen to have any leftovers, you can enjoy them the next day. Or you can serve them in a taco for a delicious and easy dish.
