Real Food Wednesday -- Black Bean and Tomato Salad

As the days here in Portland FINALLY begin to heat up, I was wanting a cool and refreshing salad to eat for lunch.  This salad hit the spot!!

The Ingredients
2 large organic tomatoes (I use heirloom tomatoes -- delicious and colorful)
6 organic green onions
1 organic red bell pepper
2 cans of organic black beans
1/2 can of organic corn
1 avocado
1 clove of garlic
4 limes (squeeze juice out of them)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
Sea salt to taste

1). Chop up the tomatoes, onions, pepper, and avocado and place in bowl

2). Pour into bowl the beans and corn

3). In separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, squeezed lime juice, garlic, cayenne pepper and sea salt.

4). Dress the salad with the liquid, toss, and let set in the fridge for 1 hour. 

Enjoy as a salad, or as a dip with fresh vegetables.
