Bean, Corn, Rice Salad

Note: I like the idea of one-dish rice or pasta salad for summer. The lime dressing is distinct; you may prefer lemon. And you can omit the avocado if you don't have a mom in California to ship you some from her tree.

Salad:

1 1/2 C brown rice (microwave with 3 C water for 35 minutes, at 60%)

1 15-oz can of black beans (drain and save the liquid)

1-2 C frozen corn (thaw in a colander with warm water)

1/2 red onion, chopped

12 or so cherry tomatoes

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 avocado, sliced

Dressing:

2 limes, zest and juice

2 t cumin , crushed

1 t salt

1 t pepper

1/2 C aquafaba (liquid from your beans)
