Black Bean Salad (way better than it sounds)

BLACK BEAN SALAD WITH CORN, RED PEPPERS, AVOCADO, AND LIME-CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE (GREAT WITH CHIPS)

We make this all the time.  I usually dont have all of the ingredients, like the red pepper or shallots, but turns out great!  I've eaten it right after I made it too and it was good.  Enjoy!

Ingredients
2 15 ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
3 ears of fresh cooked corn, kernels cut off the cob (or a can of corn)
2 red peppers diced
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
9 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lime zest
6 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 hass avocados chopped

Instructions
1. Combine all ingredients except for avocados in a large bowl and mix well.  Cover and chill for a few hours.  Right before serving, add avocados and mix gently.
