Instructions

Dice all vegetables into similar sizes for even flavor distribution. If using fresh corn, sauté it in olive oil over medium-high heat for about 5–8 minutes until cooked through. Allow it to cool before adding.
In a large bowl, combine the prepared vegetables with drained black beans and black-eyed peas.
For the dressing, zest and juice the lime into a jar along with remaining dressing ingredients. Shake well until combined.
Just before serving, gently fold in diced avocados (if using) and drizzle with dressing.
