I throw this salad together every barbecue season and it never fails to please.
It’s easy and delicious, yet super healthy!
Forget all those white, mayo-drenched “salads” that usually take over the bbq buffet.
This one’s da-bomb!
Even your unhealthy friends will love it!
And for those still trying to shed the last few pounds of your winter coat, it's perfect.
The healthy fats from the avocado and olive oil will keep you satiated, while the fiber and protein from the beans regulate your blood sugar level… keeping you from overdoing it on those other "salads"!
