Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole avocado
- 400 grams canned black beans
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 whole red onion
- 100 grams spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Rinse and drain the canned black beans thoroughly. Set aside.
Dice the avocado into bite-sized chunks and halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped red onion to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the black beans, cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through.
Turn off the heat and fold in the spinach leaves. Let the residual heat wilt the spinach slightly.
Transfer the warm bean mixture to a large salad bowl. Gently add the avocado chunks, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the salad and toss lightly to combine. Adjust salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Serve immediately as a warm salad or side. Optionally garnish with extra cilantro.
