Quick lunch Salad with Black Bean and Avocado


























Here's a quick and easy lunch for those busy afternoons when I am home alone. Truth is, this is not a lot of food and would hardly satisfy the Mr. However, it's a perfect light lunch and has all the necessary nutrients. The black beans and the avocado add a richness and makes it hearty and satisfying.

I used a left over Black Bean burger patty, but some cooked black beans or corn would be just as good.


























Ingredients:
Greens - Lettuce, Spinach
Avocado - 1/2
Red Onion - 1/4
Tomato - 1 small
Cucumber - 1/2
Black Bean patty - 1 (or 1/2 cup Black Beans)
Dressing of your choice - 2 Tbsp

Chop all the veggies into cubes and roughly chop the greens.
Add everything to a bowl and top with the broken Black bean patty or some black beans.
Drizzle over some dressing and enjoy.

I used this:

Lime and Cilantro Yogurt Dressing - 1/4 cup 
(In a blender, add 1/4 cup yogurt, pinch of salt, squeeze half a lime, a small piece of avocado and a few springs of cilantro, half a jalapeno and blend)
