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.
