A vibrant and flavorful salad featuring creamy avocado, zesty lime, and a medley of fresh vegetables.
Combine the grape tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, black beans, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the vegetables evenly for a consistent texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to combine.
Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Just before serving, add the diced avocado to the salad and fold gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Add the avocado at the last moment to keep it fresh and vibrant.
Serve the salad at room temperature and enjoy.
Garnish with additional lime zest or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
