Black Bean Salad with Corn, Avocados, Tomatoes, and Red Onions

This Black Bean Salad with Corn, Avocados, Tomatoes, and Red Onions is a hearty main course salad or side dish that is both refreshing and filling.
I originally served this salad with cornbread aebleskivers and the combination was great. If you don't want to attempt the aebleskivers (they require a special pan), you can serve these with a hearty and cheesy cornbread and a green salad.
Ever since I first tried this salad, it has been on repeat at least every two to three weeks. With a citrusy herb vinaigrette, this salad will fill you up and satisfy your craving for something both tasty and nutritious. Plus, unlike green salads, you can prepare it in advance and have it ready to snack on when you're ready for lunch or dinner. Just add the avocado right before serving.
