Black Bean, Avocado, Cucumber and Tomato Salad

One of our friend's brought this salad over on Memorial Day.  I was instantly addicted. I may have had three servings. Yes, that good.  Everyone (well all the ladies) raved about it.  Not only is it a refreshing salad but it's very good for you too. A combination I'm always looking for in recipes.  I've made this a few times since she brought it, it never lasts long in my house.  This would be a great side to bring to a 4th of July BBQ next week. Enjoy!
