INSTRUCTIONS

Add mung beans to a pot with four cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.

While mung beans cook, add olive oil, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to a small bowl and whisk together.

Add tomatoes, corn, cucumber, red onion, and cooled mung beans to a large bowl, and stir to combine. Add avocado, top with dressing, and season generously with salt and pepper. Stir gently to coat with dressing, being careful not to break up the avocado.

Top with torn basil just before serving.
