One of the BEST summer dips



This is such a healthy and refreshing dip to serve when the weather gets warm. It's also so easy:



2 cans black beans-drained and rinsed


2 can corn-drained


1 red onion chopped


2 avocadoes chopped


1 red pepper chopped


1 yellow or orange pepper chopped


2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes halved



1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 TB lime juice


1-2 tsp chili powder


1-2 tsp salt (kosher salt if you have it)


1-2 TB olive oil



Combine all of the veggies, including cilantro. In a small bowl combine lime juice, chili powder and salt. Then, wisk in olive oil to desired consistency. Add dressing to salad and toss well. Serve with tortilla chips.

Tips:
When making any sort of dish like this, it is best when all ingredients are chopped, as close to the same size as possible.

Citrus is so important when making anything with fruit or vegetables in it. It prevents browning and maintains freshness longer.
