Avocado Salad with Corn, Black Bean, and Tomatillo from Cinco de Mayo Salsas

Avocado Salad with Corn, Black Bean, and Tomatillo 

Arturo of Cinco de Mayo Salsas taught my friend this simple snack by mixing his Corn and Black Bean Salad and Tomatillo sauce and adding an avocado.  She was raving about it afterwards, so I just had to try it myself!
Ingredients:
1 (16-oz) container of Corn and Black Bean salad from Cinco de Mayo Salsas
1 (16-oz) container of Tomatillo sauce from Cinco de Mayo Salsas
1 perfectly ripe avocado, diced 
Directions:
Mix the Corn and Black Bean salad and the Tomatillo sauce together.  Add the avocado.  Enjoy.
Since I liked all of the ingredients in this salad, I quite enjoyed my first bite...but I must admit I wasn't initially sure it was rave-worthy.

And then, it happened.

I got seconds.  And then thirds.  And then fourths.  And next thing you know, I Ate. The. Whole. Thing.

Yep, two large containers of salsa and an avocado. I ate it all. In a single sitting.

I should be ashamed of myself. *blush*

So my advice to you is, try this only if there is other people around to share.  It is that good.
