Black Bean Salad - AWESOME!

We just can't get enough of this salad in our house. Even though I can't claim the idea for this great recipe, I can at least share it!

Black Bean Salad

2 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 bag frozen white kernel corn, cooked and cooled
2 red bell peppers, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 minced red onion
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
9 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons fresh lime juic
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
2 Hass avocados, chopped

Combine all ingredients except for avocados in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and chill for a few hours or overnight. Right before serving, add avocados and mix gently, being careful not to mash avocados. Garnish with a more chopped cilantro if desired. Serve at room temperature.
