Notes

  • Red kidney beans: If you're not a fan, feel free to substitute them for a kind of beans you prefer. Make sure to rinse the beans and drain them before adding them to the salad. 
  • For best results, avocado should be ripe but still a little firm. Overripe avocado might get a little messy for this recipe.
