Begin by draining and rinsing one can of black beans and a cup of corn under cold water.

Halve a cup of cherry tomatoes and dice a red bell pepper, red onion, and avocado into bite-sized pieces.

Finely chop a small handful of fresh cilantro.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together a quarter cup of BBQ sauce, a quarter cup of ranch dressing, and the juice of one lime until smooth.

Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.

In a large bowl, gently combine the drained black beans, corn, halved cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, red onion, avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and carefully toss everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Transfer the Cowboy Salad to a serving bowl or dish it out into individual portions. Garnish with extra cilantro or avocado slices.
