- 2 teaspoons grated lime peel
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey

- 1 (15.5oz) can kidney beans (drained, rinsed)

- 1/2 cup thinly slivered red onion
- 1 small jalapeno, seeds and veins removed, finely diced, if desired
- 2 ripe but firm avocados (peeled, cubed)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
In medium nonstick dry skillet, toast corn over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until light brown, stirring and shaking occasionally. Set aside. In large bowl, mix lime peel, lime juice, olive oil, honey and salt. Add all remaining ingredients except avocado and cilantro; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to blend flavors. Just before serving, fold in avocado and cilantro.
Tip: You can skip the corn roasting step and use the corn right from the can. Roasting the corn in the skillet adds a slight toasty flavor to the salad.
Avocado browns after it is cut. To minimize browning, place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on top of any leftover salad before refrigerating. This helps seal out air.
