Quick & Easy: Bean & Avocado Salad

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food." - George Bernard Shaw

As mentioned in my last post, I'm going to post recipes of things I can eat. Things that are gluten, dairy, and egg free. The other day I was randomly in the mood for beans and I have no idea why. I had a can of Great Northern in my pantry so I searched on Pinterest for things to make. I found a recipe I was interested in but decided to just make my own. So I came up with a Bean & Avocado Salad - which is basically just guac with beans.

Ingredients:

• 1 can of Great Northern beans (drained)
• 1 medium avocado (cut up)
• 1 cup grape tomatoes (diced)
• 1/4 cup red onion (diced)
• 1/2 tbsp lemon
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 clove of garlic (mashed - or diced)
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Mix them all together. Honestly, it's that simple.

I was in a rush when I made this so I wanted to make sure I wasn't making anything crazy elaborate. I will say, the one thing I wished I add that I didn't have was cilantro, that would have been a perfect finishing touch. I did also make it again a few days later and added more avocado and Heart of Palm, which was delicious. 

Are you going to make this? Let me know how you like it! Until next time..
