Why It Works
  • The combination of white beans, corn, avocado, and red onion is a classic for a reason. The beans and corn provide a hearty base, the avocado adds creaminess and richness, and the red onion adds a bit of sharpness. The cilantro and lime juice add a fresh, bright flavor to the salad.
  • The vinaigrette is simple but flavorful. It is made with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. The olive oil adds richness and body to the dressing, while the lime juice adds a bit of acidity. The salt and pepper help to balance out the flavors of the dressing.
  • The salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. If you like a more flavorful salad, you can add more lime juice or cilantro. If you like a creamier salad, you can add more avocado. You can also add other ingredients to the salad, such as diced tomatoes, chopped cucumber, or cooked bacon.
