Description

Traditional Mexican guacamole gets a modern face lift with the addition of fibre-rich black beans, tomato, and red onion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
  • 1 (19 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed (540 mL)
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed, chopped, fresh cilantro (60 mL)
  • 1/4 tsp each salt and fresh cracked black pepper (1 mL)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, mash avocados with a fork or small potato masher until desired consistency is reached.

Pour beans into a colander or strainer, rinse with cold water. Add black beans to mixing bowl with avocado.

Lightly mash about ¼ of the beans. Add onion, tomato, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper; mix until well incorporated.

Aji Verde Dense Bean Salad

The internet is buzzing with dense bean salads right now. After some Tik Tok investigation, I was surprised to learn that I have been making them for years! A big, protein bomb salad that keeps in the fridge all week that I can reach for a couple of times a day keeps me alive when life gets super hectic. It gets better every day as the ingredients marinate in the dressing, too. Instead of a basic vinaigrette, I like to make my favourite Peruvian sauce/condiment for the dressing. Despite the mayo (you can use low-fat mayo), it is not heavy, it is a bit spicy, it’s tangy, and it’s pretty and delicious. You can make this salad vegan using vegan mayo and feta. It is low fat, protein rich, high fibre and dense - it will fill you up and keep you feeling full. I used a combo of white and black beans, but you can use whatever you have. Just remember to make it colourful, crunchy and deliciously beany.
