1. 1

   In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper for about 2 minutes until evenly combined and the salt begins to dissolve.

2. 2

   Slowly drizzle in the avocado oil while whisking vigorously for 1 minute until the dressing thickens slightly into a glossy, smooth emulsion.

3. 3

   Place the rinsed and drained black beans and sweet corn kernels into a large serving bowl, pour over the prepared dressing, and toss gently for 2 minutes so the beans and corn absorb the zesty cumin and garlic flavors.

4. 4

   Let the dressed black beans and sweet corn sit at room temperature for 3 minutes to allow the spices and tangy vinegar to fully penetrate.

5. 5

   Gently fold in the puffed corn cereal just before serving, tossing for 2 minutes until evenly distributed and lightly coated while retaining its crisp texture.
