4 servings
For the salad
- 3 ripe avocados, halved, pitted, and cut into ¾-inch chunks
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 english cucumber, cut into ½-inch half-moons
- ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet limits beans and lentils to about 1/2 cup at a time, and this recipe works out to about 1/2 cup of black beans per serving, so it is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black beans, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Ingredient noteDried red pepper flakes can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid red pepper flakes, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
