Tips and tricks to got an even more out of this Black Bean and Corn Salad

How long will it stay fresh in the fridge? You can make it ahead up to 5 days, but with one exception: skip the avocado. To make sure it is really fresh, I highly recommend to add the avocado right before eating.

This will make sure it won’t get brown and always stays delicious.

Add some quinoa or rice to make it a even more filling meal. I recommend 1 to 2 cooked cups will do it easily.
