Try this healthy summer salad that’s super simple and fast to make ahead of time. You have a cucumber base with black beans (or kidney beans) and corn added. Throw in two large avocados, cherry tomatoes, green peppers and cilantro, and you have a refreshing salad that is perfect to take along to your next picnic or family gathering.

  • 6 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsps raw honey
