In the mood for bean salad? Let’s add some avocado to the mix!
Don’t you just love summer? When you can cook on your grill, eat outside on the deck, enjoy the warm summer air and listen to the birds, all while enjoying a great summer meal.
I love using my grill as this means less clean up in the kitchen, plus I am an outdoor person. I try being outside as much as I can. I love working on my deck, sitting in the shade listening to the neighborhood and the animals. I am very lucky to live in the country. I imagine it’s quite different in the city. I consider myself quite fortunate, I guess.
After first moving out of the house I have lived in for 15 years with my ex-husband, I moved to the next town over and met my new best friend, who introduced me to this delicious salad. We cooked and ate often together having the best of times. I love it when you can find those kinds of neighbors that you can just connect with and become close friends with.
This bean salad has become one of our favorite side dishes. It goes really well with any kind of grilled meat. It is simple, easy to make, and highly nutritious.
So this recipe does not have any measurements this is a recipe you can truly play around with. This means you can add as many of the ingredients as you like depending on your taste buds. I will give you suggestions though for how much I use.

Table of Contents
So let’s get started making bean salad :
You will need:
Tomatoes ( 2-3 large organic or 1 container of cherry tomatoes) cut into bite-size pieces.
Avocado ( 2 avocados) cut into bite-size pieces
Corn (1 small bag of organic frozen defrosted corn or 1 can of organic corn)
Black beans (1 can of organic black beans, rinsed)
Cilantro ( ½ bunch of cilantro, coarsely chopped)
Lime Juice (depending on taste and size I use between half to one lime)
Olive Oil
Sea Salt, Cayenne, Paprika
Mix all the ingredients together taste and add extra seasoning, lime juice, and cilantro if needed.
I would suggest eating this salad as soon as possible, as the avocado can get mushy and discolored.
You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, but I would not suggest keeping it longer than 48 hours, I find it just doesn’t taste as good, plus the texture goes downhill. With this being said try making enough so it will get finished with dinner.
