Delicious spin on a Summertime fave! This is the ONE to try today!

Makes about 8 servings

• 2 cups frozen organic corn, thawed but still cold
  
• 2 red bell peppers, diced
  
• 3 cups cherry tomatoes, cut into halves (I used yellow)
  
• 2 large avocados, diced
  
• one large bunch of cilantro leaves, chopped
  

Sweet + Spicy Dressing:

• 6 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  
• 2 Tbsps raw honey
  
• 2 Tbsps organic extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 1/2 Tbsp fresh garlic minced
  
• 1/2-1 Tbsp fresh chili pepper, minced (depending on heat preferred…some peppers are hotter than others!) OR 1 Tbsp of your favorite hot sauce
  
• sea salt and pepper to taste (about a 1/2 tsp. each)

Instructions:

Place the cucumber, black beans, corn, red pepper, cherry tomatoes, avocado and chopped cilantro in a large glass bowl.

In a smaller bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients until combined well.

When ready to serve the salad, drizzle the dressing over, and gently toss to combine.
