New Year falls at a time when Orthodox Christians are keeping the Nativity Fast. But even during this period, you can set the table deliciously and beautifully. For example, instead of the traditional "Olivier", you can prepare a very interesting, hearty and spectacular salad of red beans and avocado, which does not contain eggs, mayonnaise, and other dairy and meat products. And vegetarians who monitor their health will surely enjoy such a snack.
It is necessary
- - canned corn - 1 can;
- - canned red beans (without tomato) - 1 jar;
- - ripe avocado - 1 pc.;
- - large red onion - 1 pc.;
- - cloves of garlic - 2 pcs.;
- - Cherry tomatoes - 200 g;
- - cilantro greens - 0.5 bunch;
- - lemon - 1 pc.;
- - Chili pepper - 1 pc. (optional);
- - vegetable oil (olive or sunflower) - 3 tbsp. l.;
- - sugar - 1 tbsp. l.;
- - salt - 1 tsp;
- - ground black pepper - 0.5 tsp.
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to prepare a salad dressing. Peel the garlic and pass through a press. It can also be chopped with a knife or grated. Take a small bowl and squeeze 3 tablespoons of lemon juice into it. If bones accidentally fall, they will need to be removed. Add vegetable oil, minced garlic, black pepper, salt and sugar. Mix everything together well.
Step 2
Peel the red onion and avocado and cut them into small cubes. Rinse the cilantro under running water and chop finely. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a separate bowl along with the chopped onion, avocado and cilantro. If you prefer a piquant flavor, you can add chili pepper if you wish by cutting it into several pieces.
Step 3
Open jars of beans and corn, draining excess liquid. Then place them in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Pour the garlic-lemon dressing over everything and mix thoroughly. The bean and avocado salad can be put into a salad bowl and served immediately, garnished with lemon wedges.
