Easy 8-ingredient Black Bean Avocado Salad with Edamame! Packed with a double punch of healthy plant-based protein and fresh veggies. (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free)
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. 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 ideas below the ingredients – garlic, cumin, agave – or play around with other flavors you enjoy! I’d love to hear what you guys come up with. This is a fantastic make-ahead dish as the flavors beautifully intensify as it chills in the fridge!
