Black Bean, Corn and Avocado Salad

In a large bowl, add the beans, corn, cilantro and red bell pepper and mix well. Add the shallot, garlic, sugar, cayenne pepper (you can add more if you want more spice), salt and lime zest. Add the lime juice and a dash or two of olive oil (as desired) and mix until well combined. Cover the bowl and store in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight if you can).

Right before serving, add the avocado and more lime juice to help keep them from browning. Serve at room temperature with pita chips, tortilla chips or sliced veggies!
