An Easy Dinner Idea

I'm always looking for a good, healthy, quick dinner idea. I just made this one recently. It's yummy, easy, vegetarian, and a good summer dish. Hope you like it:

Corn and Black Bean Salad

2 cans of black beans rinsed
1 can (or so) of sweet corn
2 diced tomatoes
1 diced avocado
apx. 1/2 c. minced cilantro (or to taste)
salt and a smidge of cayenne pepper
1-2 tsp minced garlic ( or to taste)
1/4 c. fresh squeezed lime juice
1/3 c. olive oil.

Mix it all together and enjoy. I used this as a main dish (its hardy enough) but it would also make a nice side for quesidillas, or grilled chicken. Obviously, I approximate when I cook, so you can adjust these basic ingredients to suit your tastes.
