Black Bean and Avocado Salsa

Just made this for dinner along with a very simple Teriyaki Tuna that I threw on the Foreman Grill (actually my husband did the “grilling… what is it with guys and the grill?).

This is definitely one of my go-to side dishes. 

I usually make it in the summer, but I just so happened to have all of the ingredients on hand and I thought it would be great with the Tuna. (Besides, I do live in Southern California… a place where it’s never exactly cold outside).

I also like to make this salsa when I’m having friends over and serve it with some baked chips and maybe some margaritas (who said that?… oh, who am I kidding – you guys know they’re my weakness).

Either way, it’s a good recipe to keep in your back pocket!
