In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained black beans and corn.
Add the diced Roma tomatoes, chopped red onion, and diced green bell pepper to the bowl.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and diced jalapeño.
Gently fold in the diced avocados, taking care not to mash them.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture, and toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Cowboy Caviar chilled as a salsa with chips, or as a side dish.
