Guacamole Salad

This stuff melts in your mouth... And even though it is just like guacamole, it is nothing like guacamole since you keep the avocados in chunks when you serve it versus mashing them. Either way it is super delicious.

It is sitting in the refrigerator at this very moment taunting me...telling me to eat more!

For the salad:

2 jalapenos, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 pint of grape tomatoes, cut in halves

2/3 cup diced red onion

1 can of black beans

1/2 tsp lime zest

3 ripe, small Haas avocados *** cut into 1/2" squares but WAIT until the end to use

For the dressing:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 tsp cayenne

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper

1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (2-3 limes)

1/2 tsp minced garlic

Cut up all the items for the salad and toss to combine. DO NOT add the avos to the salad until the moment you are about to serve it. This is one of the yummies that makes this salad perfect.

Whisk together all the dressing items and coat the salad items. You can allow these to sit together (at room temperature) before serving. Moments before you serve, carefully fold in the avocado pieces into your salad/dressing mixture, adjust the seasonings and enjoy!
