Instructions

For the Cilantro Vinaigrette, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until well blended. Let stand to allow flavors to blend.
For Tomatillo and Black Bean Salad, heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Cook corn, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Mix corn and remaining ingredients (except Cotija) in a large bowl. Drizzle with Cilantro Vinaigrette and toss well to coat. Set aside.
For the Whipped Avocado, place all ingredients in food processor. Process until very smooth, light and airy, about 2 minutes.
Spoon Whipped Avocado onto serving platter, spreading and swirling into an even layer. Spoon Tomatillo and Black Bean Salad over top. Garnish with crumbled Cotija and additional cilantro.
