Black Bean Salad

I recently made pork tacos for dinner and decided to make an easy recipe for cowboy caviar to pair with the tacos. I had to adapt the plan because my store was out of black eyed peas so I changed the recipe in my mind and only used black beans for this batch along with corn, tomatoes, avocado, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. The salad is tossed in a tangy homemade vinaigrette and the flavors meld really nicely together. This black bean salad was simple to throw together, was a big hit with my family, and tasted terrific with our tacos.
