- Slice the tomato into chunks and add them to a large bowl.
- Add in the beans and corn then stir in the lime juice.

Notes
- You can prep most of this salad ahead of time, but wait to add the avocado and cilantro until you’re ready to serve it.
- If you don’t want to mess with corn on the cob, you can use frozen or canned corn instead.
