I'm allergic to cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious!

I didn't have any avocado on hand, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It was still delicious!

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy avocado. Next time I'll use a milder one.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover black beans. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
