# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Vegetables and Legumes

01 - 425 g black beans, drained and rinsed
02 - 425 g black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
03 - 160 g corn kernels (fresh, canned, or thawed if frozen)
04 - 150 g cherry tomatoes, halved
05 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
06 - 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
07 - 1 avocado, diced
08 - 15 g fresh cilantro, chopped

→ Dressing

09 - 80 ml olive oil
10 - 60 ml red wine vinegar
11 - 15 ml lime juice
12 - 1 tsp ground cumin
13 - Salt, to taste
14 - Black pepper, to taste

# How to Prepare:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, add black beans, black-eyed peas, corn, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, avocado, and chopped cilantro.
02 - In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
03 - Pour the prepared dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture. Gently toss using a spatula to combine, taking care not to crush the avocado.
04 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
05 - Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a vibrant topping for grilled mains or tacos.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For extra heat, incorporate finely chopped jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
02 - To maintain optimal freshness, add the diced avocado just before serving.
03 - Consume within 1-2 days, as the avocado will oxidize quickly.
