Avocado and Three Bean Salad
Recipe from: Created by Cathy Pollak for NoblePig.com | Serves: 8
Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz) can whole kernal corn, drained
1 large orange or red bell pepper, diced
12 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 large avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
juice of 2 limes
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, mashed or finely diced

Directions

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Note: After cutting up my avocado I tossed it in the lime juice then added the avocado and the juice to the salad. This will help with the avocado not turning brown before serving.

Hi, Theresa. This is an interesting recipe because of all the avocado. However, if you use it to take the place of some carbs, you can have 2 cups of this blend (about 1/8 of the entire recipe) as a meal.

thank you, however, not to be a stickler, but you said “some carbs” lol I am really trying to get the measurements and quantities accurate. I went out and bought a digital food scale to make sure of everything.

So can you tell me how many carbs 2 cups would replace? Thank you

Hi, Theresa. It would take the place of at least 2 carb exchanges.
