Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz black beans
- 2 whole avocado
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the bowl with the black beans.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves and stir them into the bowl.
In a small bowl, squeeze the juice from the lime and whisk it together with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld.
