Southwestern Black Bean Salad submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
A tasty bean salad using more fresh lime juice than oil for the dressing - making this healthier than usual! You will need 3-4 ears of fresh corn to yield 2 cups, or use frozen, thawed corn. I like to BBQ a few chicken thighs to go with this salad!

Directions
Whisk lime juice, oil, green onions, chipotle, honey, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add beans, corn, avocados, tomatoes, and cilantro to a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serves 6-8.
