Is there anything quite so delicious as the taste of fresh tomatoes warmed by the sun or creamy avocado by the spoonful?
Yesterday, I wrote about the joys of a good salad in the article, 100 Salad Recipe Ideas to Inspire Delicious Meals but apparently I can’t resist sharing this new salad recipe I recently tried.
Today’s recipe for Pinto Bean Salad With Avocado, Tomatoes, Red Onion, and Cilantro from the folks at Kalyn’s Kitchen comes just in time for Cinco de Mayo, my favorite excuse to enjoy some delicious Mexican food with my favorite cerveza, er–beer.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 can pinto beans, rinse and drain very well
4-5 tsp. white balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegar
1 avocado, diced into pieces 1/2 inch square
2 tsp. fresh lime juice
1 cup chopped tomatoes (cherry tomatoes cut in half would be great too, but I had medium tomatoes which I cut in eighths)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
1-2 T olive oil, or a bit more
fresh ground black pepper and sea salt to taste
