Can I make avocado corn salad with frozen corn?

Yes of course! I recommend using the microwave steamable corn just because it saves you a dish to wash, otherwise pour it into a pot with a little water and cover.

Steam until warmed through and no longer icy. Drain and use as directed. Note that you may want to let the corn cool slightly or rinse under cold water to bring to room temp.

What if I don’t want to use black beans?

You can omit them completely if you choose to or switch them out for another bean. I hear that chickpeas go great in avocado corn salad recipes! Try whichever option sounds best to you and I’m sure you can’t go wrong.

How long is avocado corn salad good for?

Unfortunately, this is the only slight downfall of this delicious recipe. If you’ve ever cut open an avocado, you know it doesn’t last long before it turns brown and looks inedible.

This is sadly true with this recipe as well. After preparing, keep it stored and well covered in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Any longer than that and it won’t look pretty at all.
