Fresh tasting guacamole salad filled with avocado, tomatoes, yellow bell peppers, black beans, onions, and garlic tossed in a zesty dressing. It's a delicious salad for one!
Place the tomatoes, yellow pepper, black beans, red onion, and jalapeño pepper in a medium-sized bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and pour over the vegetables. Use a spoon and mix everything together.
Fold in the chopped avocado and enjoy.
Notes
Opt for Quality Ingredients: Use extra virgin olive oil for its rich flavor and fresh lime juice to enhance the zestiness of the salad.
Personalize Your Salad: This recipe is flexible, allowing you to adjust the quantities to your liking. Consider adding a tablespoon or two of finely chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
Gentle Mixing to Preserve Avocado: Avoid over-stirring the salad to keep the avocado pieces intact and prevent them from becoming mushy. Instead, gently fold the avocado into the salad to maintain its chunky texture.
Additional Ingredient Suggestion: For a sweet and smoky twist, try adding 1/4 cup of grilled corn to the salad.
