A delicious take on a Mexican bean salad. The avocado adds a wonderful creaminess while the cumin and lime juice give the dish a wonderful depth of flavor. This salad is a perfect side for any Southwest meal, or as a light and satisfying lunch.

Need to add red pepper flakes on your ingredient list since its in step 1, and I am not sure cilantro is suppose to be added in step 1 and step 4. We have been enjoying the food challenge so far! Thanks.
Thanks for catching that Pam! I guess we type too fast sometimes 🙂 Glad you are enjoying the challenge.
