Begin by draining and rinsing a can of black beans until the liquid runs clear. Prepare the corn, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and avocado by chopping them into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop a handful of fresh cilantro and set all the ingredients aside in bowls.

In a medium bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

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

Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients.

Transfer the Cowboy Salad into a serving bowl or individual plates. Garnish with additional avocado or cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately.
