Springtime Avocado and Black Bean Salad with Lime Cilantro Dressing

So it finally began to feel like we were going to have a Spring day and I wanted a salad for dinner and I did not want to turn on the stove and actually 'cook'.  I had a big bag of Spring Salad Greens and Mexican Avocados that were ready to be used.  I wanted this salad to be my dinner so, I went to the pantry and pulled out a can of Black Beans for my protein. The following is the recipe and it was delish.  Now, you can add chicken to this as well but, if you are looking for a fresh vegetarian yummy for dinner or even for a lunch, this will hit the spot. 

Ingredients:

Salad

1 bag or box of your favorite mixed greens (about 5-6 cups)

2 Mexican avocados cut in cubes

1 small red onion sliced thin

1-2 tomatoes chopped

1 can (12 oz) black beans rinsed

Dressing

1/2 cup cilantro

2 limes juiced

2 cloves garlic 

1 tsp ground cumin

1-2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Take a big bowl and add all the salad ingredients except for the black beans and mix together.

Put the ingredients for the dressing in the blender and mix together.  Pour over the black beans and mix together before pouring it all over the salad and mix together. 

It is that simple and very good. 

Add some cooked chicken breast if you want to add more protein.
