At this time of year, we are all looking for ways to save time. And we also know no matter how busy we are with all the holiday festivities, dinner still comes around every night. This recipe for Bean Corn Avocado Salad is super easy, does not need to be cooked, and believe it or not is very kid friendly. We first created this recipe when we were asked by our local Whole Foods to do an in store demonstration for an easy weeknight dinner. We were totally “sold out” within the hour and had numerous requests afterwards for the recipe. The flavor is that good! It really is a keeper for busy weeknights. Served alongside some warm crusty bread you have a complete and healthy meal that is easy to get on the table. Enjoy!
