Notes

No Italian dressing? When we don’t have it on hand, we like to make our own by mixing ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon garlic salt, and a dash of pepper.
Make ahead of time. We prefer to eat it immediately. If you do make it ahead, add the avocados, cilantro, and dressing right before serving for best results.
STORE. Store black bean and corn salsa in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Once avocados turn brown and start oxidizing, the salsa is no longer good.
