I can't remember where I first got the inspiration for this recipe, but I know that it is not entirely my own. Avocado salad is a new twist on guacamole - instead of mashing everything together, why not chop the ingredients and make a cool summer salad? The addition of black beans makes this a filling side dish that people will love at your next barbecue.
2 avocados, cut into large dice
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into medium dice
1/2 cup diced red onion
15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tbsp diced jalapeno
1/2 tsp lime zest
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (the juice of about 2 limes)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp chopped garlic
Add all ingredients to a large bowl and gently toss. Let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
