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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Step 4
Chop the cilantro leaves and stir them into the bowl.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld.
