Recipe Inspiration
A couple of months ago our family was playing on the playground after church and someone walked up to me asking if we knew each other. Immediately I recognized her but had a brain freeze and couldn’t remember her name (ugh, I hate when that happens!)
Long story short, we graduated college together in Ohio! We were both apart of the Recreational Therapy program and had every class together. Living so far away from all of our original stomping grounds, I have lost touch with a lot of people and I never (ever!!) see anyone from years ago so this was a wonderful and complete surprise!

Today they came over to play with us at our neighborhood beach on the lake and had so much fun reconnecting and eating!! She brought this wonderful bean salad dish that my daughter couldn’t stop eating! She begged me to get the recipe and make it as soon as we got home! Luckily, I had the ingredients on hand in the panty and in my garden so we were good to go!
It reminds me of Cowboy Caviar, but it’s SO much better with its vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients! The combination of beans, sweet corn, creamy avocado, and a tangy dressing makes it irresistible.
This dish has quickly become a hit with our whole family—everyone keeps going back for seconds! Whether you’re serving it as a side dish, a party dip with tortilla chips, or even as a topping for tacos, it’s sure to be a hit (we devour it with tortilla chips!).
The original recipe came from here but I have tweaked it a bit to our liking.
