2-Bean Avocado Salad with Jalapenos, Cilantro Dressing

This little salad is really easy to put together and packs so much flavor, thanks to its zesty and creamy jalapeño & cilantro dressing. With 14 unique plants and 23g of fiber, it’s a great one for your microbiome too! We did not forget the protein, and each serving contains 27g.

If you’ve been here for a little while, you’d know I have a slight obsession with pickled onions and always have a jar in the fridge. I’ll post a link to our super easy (and budget-friendly!) version in our stories, but you can also find it on our website (link in bio) 💛.

To save time, I used jarred roasted capsicum (another thing I always have in the fridge; it’s such a time saver to add a lot of flavor in an instant to a meal, especially if I’m not planning to turn the oven on for anything else), but of course, feel free to roast fresh capsicum, or even to keep them raw 🙂.
