Black Bean Salad #2
1 ripe avocado
2 cups fresh cooked corn
1 cup black beans
1 small red onion, diced
chopped cilantro to taste
juice of 2 limes
1/2 cup olive oil
salt & pepper to taste

Place all ingredients in a bowl. Squeeze lime over ingredients and drizzle with olive oil. Stir gently.

i haven't tried this one but according to my dad it is even better than the first one.

Kale Chickpea Mash
i also had this for dinner tonight...recipe found here!

the first time i made this i used really really thick hummus instead of chickpeas and it was even more delicious than when i just used chickpeas. definitely good both ways though :)

let me know if you have posted any recipes so that i can link them here! keep vegging out!

and finally...my favourite kind of bean...
