- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- ⅓ cup chopped red onion
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro minced
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh jalapeño minced (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the black beans and vegetables, from the corn to the cilantro, leaving aside the avocado.
- Sprinkle over the lime juice and sea salt and stir everything to combine.
