BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA
This has to be my favorite summer salsa. It's colorful and fresh tasting. It makes a bunch, so invite some friends over. I like to take the lime after it's been juiced and rub down the bowl I will be serving the salsa in. I also rub the lime on the plastic wrap this will help keep the avocados from turning brown. Don't forget the tortilla chips!

Steps:
- Mix together the oil, herbs, spices and garlic in a large sealable bag. Put the chicken breasts in the bag and mix thoroughly to cover. Bash the chicken with a rolling pin to flatten it a little, then set aside to marinate for at least 15 mins.
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the bean salad. Stir well and set aside.
- For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your guacamole to be smoother, mash the avocado well with the olive oil and lime juice until it's at your preferred consistency before stirring in the other ingredients.
- Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the chicken breasts on it and grill for 5 mins, checking occasionally. Once golden brown, turn and grill for a further 5-7 mins. Check the middle of the breasts after 5 mins and, if cooked through, remove from the heat.
- Set aside 2 chicken breasts and 2 tbsp guacamole for Open rye sandwich (see 'goes well with', right). Place 1 warm chicken breast on each plate, with some bean salad and a dollop of guacamole on the side.

LIME CHICKEN-AVOCADO SALAD
A light, refreshing recipe! It is adapted from a recipe found on one of those cards in the grocery store. Pairs quite well with cilantro lime rice. 1 hour of the prep time accounts for the time needed to marinate the chicken. Add more cayenne pepper if you like it spicy!

Steps:
- Mix together the oil, herbs, spices and garlic in a large sealable bag. Divide a 250g block of halloumi into 8 slices.

- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the bean salad. Stir well and set aside.
- For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your guacamole to be smoother, mash the avocado well with the olive oil and lime juice until it's at your preferred consistency before stirring in the other ingredients.
- Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the halloumi slices on it and grill for 3-4 mins, checking occasionally until golden.
- Set aside 2 tbsp guacamole for tomorrow's lunch and chill. Place 2 slices of halloumi on each plate, with some bean salad and a dollop of guacamole on the side.

Tips:
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is made with a blend of spices, herbs, and citrus, which gives the chicken a delicious flavor. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you grill the chicken over high heat, it will cook too quickly and become tough.
- Make the black bean and avocado salad while the chicken is grilling: This salad is a great way to add some freshness and crunch to the meal. It's also very easy to make.
- Serve the chicken and salad with your favorite sides: Some good options include rice, beans, or a green salad.
Conclusion:
This grilled spicy lime chicken with black bean and avocado salad is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, and the salad is refreshing and crunchy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
