Ingredients

• 2 whole (ripe, diced) Avocados
• 400 grams (canned, drained and rinsed) Black beans
• 250 grams (fresh, diced) Pineapple
• 1 whole (diced) Red bell pepper
• 0.5 whole (finely diced) Red onion
• 30 grams (chopped) Cilantro
• 1 whole (seeds removed, finely minced) Jalapeño
• 3 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the avocados by slicing them in half, removing the pit, and scooping out the flesh. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly to remove any excess liquid and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the fresh pineapple into small cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size as the black beans.

Step 4

Chop the red bell pepper and finely dice the red onion. Add them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Finely mince the jalapeño, removing the seeds if you want to reduce the heat, and add it to the bowl along with the chopped cilantro.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Gently combine the diced avocado, black beans, and pineapple in the mixing bowl with the other vegetables and herbs.

Step 8

Pour the lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Be careful not to mash the avocados.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
