- 1 medium ripe avocado, pitted and scooped
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Halve the mini sweet peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds and any white ribs. Arrange them cut-side up on a large serving platter or sheet pan.

Add the drained white beans and scooped avocado to a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash them together until mostly smooth with some texture remaining — the mixture should hold its shape when spooned but not be completely pureed.
