Avocado White Bean Salad
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 15 ounce can white beans any kind you want, drained and rinsed. Or 1 ½ cups cooked white beans or chickpeas
- 1 Haas avocado peeled, pitted, and chopped into ½" piece
- ½ cup chopped cucumber peeling is optional. You can use up to 1 cup, if you want more crunch!
- ½ cup chopped tomato Roma or cherry tomato are both great options! You can use up to 1 cup, if you have a lot of tomato that needs using.
- ¼ cup chopped green onion
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ½ to 1 hot green chili minced, optional
For the Chipotle Lime Dressing
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lime juice You can also use 1 teaspoon lime zest for more flavor, optional.
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, add all of the chipotle lime dressing ingredients. Shake well to combine.
- In a salad bowl, add all of the white bean salad ingredients. Pour the dressing over the salad in the bowl, and toss to coat everything really well.
- Taste and adjust the flavor, adding more salt and/or lime juice, if needed. Serve on its own, with toast or flatbread for scooping, over a bed of hummus, or as a wrap or lettuce wrap. This salad is delicious on its own or topped with pickled onions, pickled onions and jalapeños, or pickled shallots.
Notes
You want the pieces of tomato, cucumber, and avocado to be about the size of whatever beans you're using. It doesn't have to be exact; just aim for approximately the same size.
Avocado white bean salad is best if you can eat it in the first day or two, but it will keep for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. The lime helps prevent the avocado from browning, but the salt in the dressing will soften the avocado and other veggies as it sits. It will still taste good, it will just have a softer texture.
