This avocado and corn salad is a tasty twist on classic Mexican guacamole and it can be summed up in one word. FRESH.

Fresh corn, soft red beans, tasty sun-dried tomatoes, and perfectly ripe avocado – firm but creamy.
It’s all tossed in a honey and vinegar dressing for a bright and summer infused side dish.
I noticed this colorful dish on un pinguino in cucina blog and I knew that I would be making it as soon as I could get the chance (aka empty fridge).
It’s best to let the flavors blend together for a little bit for the most flavor.

Here are ingredients for the 4-serving recipe:

 

200 g canned corn
200 g canned red beans
1 ripe avocado
10 sun-dried tomatoes preserved in EVO oil
EVO oil
white wine vinegar
honey
salt
dry ginger

1. Drain both canned corn and red beans in a colander and place them in a large salad bowl
2. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. Peel the avocado and cut it into slices. Add them to the salad bowl, too
3. Prepare the vinagrette: in a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of EVO oil, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of dry ginger and salt. Stir gently
