You’ll Love This Avocado Black Bean Salad
I did the side dish thing here, not gonna lie. Next time I’m definitely having this salad on its own, might even wrap it in lettuce or a gluten-free wrap.

Avocado Black Bean Salad Ingredients
- cooked or canned black beans that have been rinsed and drained (just the way I’m feeling me this morning…the drained part)
- a ripe avocado
- cherry tomatoes or ripe summer tomatoes
- roasted red pepper – if you don’t have one, you simply cut a red pepper in quarters and saute for a bit on the stove in a nonstick pan with a bit of olive oil
- flavors – onion, garlic, basil, parsley and lemon are all making an appearance in this salad
- olives and olive oil
How To Make This Avocado Black Bean Salad
It’s pretty simple when you’ve got all ingredients prepared: place it all into a bowl and toss.
You’ll need washed and chopped vegetables, rinsed and drained beans and roasted red peppers. That is all!
The entire thing took me about 10 minutes including the roasting of the peppers, so don’t let them intimidate you!
Meal Prep
This would actually make a great make ahead salad! You can make it just as you would with any salad jars: olive oil and lemon juice on the bottom, then layer beans, roasted peppers, olives, whole cherry tomatoes, onions, and the greens on top. Leave the avocado for when it’s time to eat.
I hope you enjoy this simple black bean salad!
