Black Bean Avocado Edamame Salad

EASY Avocado Edamame Salad with black beans! Just 8 ingredients and packed with a double punch of healthy plant-based protein and fresh veggies.

We love this easy, 8-ingredient, nutrient-packed salad with a double protein punch (edamame + black beans!) All tossed with a super simple squeeze of lime for fresh, bright flavor. Just a quick note: I find limes can really vary in their juiciness, so I usually buy 2 to be safe in case more flavor is needed.

If you want to change it up a bit, there are some variation notes below the ingredients. (Try garlic, cumin, agave, or play around with other flavors you enjoy!) I’d love to hear what you guys come up with. Plus this is a fantastic make-ahead dish as the flavors beautifully intensify as it chills in the fridge. Which makes it a great choice for picnics, potlucks, take along lunches, meal prep, etc.
