1 small red onion, diced
1 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 cup green bell pepper, diced
1 cup sweet corn, fresh or canned
5 Roma tomatoes, diced
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
juice of 2 limes
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
Add onion, peppers, corn, tomatoes, black beans, black eyed peas, cilantro, lime juice, and spices to a serving bowl. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Add more chili powder if you want more heat. Gently fold in the avocado so that it doesn't get mashed. If making this ahead of time don't add the avocado until serving. Serve with chips as a salsa or dip, or as a salad.
