FRESCA BEAN SALAD

Chow down. Or lighten up. To make this a heartier dish, add 1½ cups cooked quinoa. Warm quinoa gives the dish a delightful hot-cold contrast. Conversely, the dish can be made lighter by adding 2 cups of fresh greens, like spinach or romaine.

Ingredient

1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed (1½ cups)
1 medium carrot, shredded (about 1 cup)
½ small red onion, minced (about ¼ cup)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, diced
1 avocado, diced
½ lime, juiced
1½ tablespoon garlic granules or powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 generous pinches of cayenne pepper, or to taste

Direction

In a large bowl, mix the beans, carrots, onion, tomato cilantro, lime juice and spices. Stir in the avocado just before serving and enjoy.
