Southwestern Black Bean Salad

I recently stumbled across a fabulous food blog called skinnytaste.com With every recipe I read, my mouth watered and before I knew it my menu that week consisted of 3 skinnytaste recipes. The funny thing is, I am not a fan of most "low fat" or "non-fat" recipes (read more about why here), but each dish I tried was filled with fresh ingredients. On the off chance that a "low fat" ingredient I didn't care for was used, I just substituted it with something else (I'm a huge fan of butter) Each recipe we tried was so delish! This is my new favorite food blog and I highly recommend you trying every recipe on the skinnytaste blog!

• 1 15.5 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained (I like to use organic black beans from Trader Joe's)
  
• 9 oz frozen corn, thawed
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1 small avocado, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
• 1 scallion, chopped (I didn't have any scallions, so I just used a sweet onion instead)

1. Combine beans, corn, tomato, red onion, sweet onion, cilantro, salt and pepper
