- 1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or sugar, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
- salt and pepper
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

- 1 large avocado, peeled and diced
- 3–4 large roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, can use more or less to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons minced jalapeño peppers, seeded (optional and to taste)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, oil, vinegar, honey, and lime zest. Season with plenty of salt and pepper; adjust seasonings to taste. Set aside the vinaigrette while you prepare the rest of the salsa. In a large bowl, combine black beans, corn, avocado, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and minced jalapeño.
