I was requested to make this salad for a Labor Day cookout because it's perfect to share with family and friends. This black bean, corn, and avocado salad is festive and colorful and can be eaten as a side dish or with tortilla chips. You can make this salad ahead of time and leave in the refrigerator overnight. The ingredients marry together to create a more flavorful and delicious salad.
