Avocado and Tomato Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 avocado, cut in large chunks

• ½ bell pepper (any color), cut in large pieces

• 20 or so grape/cherry tomatoes, halved

• ¼ Cup red onion, diced

• 2 Tablespoons cilantro, chopped

• ½ Cup black beans, drained and rinsed

• ½ Cup shredded cheese (I have used montarey jack, cheddar, or even feta)

• juice of 1 lime

• 2 teaspoons olive oil

• handful of corn tortilla chips

• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1.  In a medium bowl combine: avocado, bell pepper, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, black beans and shredded cheese.

2.  In a small bowl stir together lime juice and olive oil.

3.  Pour lime and olive oil mixture over salad and stir gently so you don’t break up the avocado too much.

4.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

5.  Top with crushed tortilla chips.

* Great as a side dish for any mexican style meal,

hope you enjoy!
