Corn, Black Bean, and Avocado Salsa/Salad (whatever you want to call it)

So last night there was a baby shower at my house (I know, can you believe it). Anyway, there were three of us in charge, the other two did an awesome job with the food and the decorations, my one job was to clean up enough to have people over  (which I did do, I'm kinda obsessive about that), but I saw this as a great opportunity to try out a recipe I found on pinterest. Let's just say it was delicious... healthy, super easy, and delicious, oh and did I mention that it fit in super well with the fact that yesterday was Cinco de Mayo. Oh one more great thing, Michael (yes my 10 month old son), LOVED it, ok maybe all the tomatoes and limes werent the best thing for a little dude, but he did LOVE it, he is not going to be one of those kids that thinks chicken nuggets are their own food group.
I tweaked the recipe I found a bit  (dont worry I explain why)

Corn, Black Bean, and Avocado Salsa/Salad

Serves 6-8 as a salad

2 (15oz) cans black beans, rinsed (really really well)
3-4 ears fresh cooked corn, kernels removed
2 red bell peppers diced (I used green bell peppers since they were 50 cents each instead of $1.99 each)
3 cloves garlic, minced (I may have doubled... or tripled this one, but use 2 if you are normal)
1/2 red onion, minced (the original recipe called for shallots, I forgot to buy these, red onion is great)
1/2 bunch cilantro, minced (don't skimp)
2 t. salt
2 T. sugar (don't skip)
9 T. extra virgin olive oil (not canola, or yucky light olive oil, this is when you pull out the good stuff)
1/2 t, cayenne pepper
6 T. lime juice (fresh... not bottled... no really) zest limes before squeezing, add that to the salad too)

2 avocados, diced
2-3 tomatoes, diced (the original didnt call for this, but salsa has tomatoes and so does salad... so...)

Combine all ingredients, EXCEPT avocados and tomatoes in a large bowl. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight or for a few hours (you want all the flavors to meld). Add tomatoes and avocado right before serving.

Last night I served the "concoction" as a dip/salsa, but tonight we ate it with chicken and rice like a salad- so tasty!
