here is my favorite dish to make

Chilled Avocado Salad
Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. oregano
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cut in bite size pieces
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 large Roma tomato, seeded and diced
1 green onion sliced

steps to create this yummy dish:

1. whisk oil, vinegar, salt, and oregano in large bowl. Add avocado; toss gently to coat.
2. Add rice, black beans, tomato and green onion; toss gently to mix. Cover and refridgerate for one hour. *warning- this one hour will seem like forever after making this dish and wanting to eat it right away... but this is worth the wait because it tastes best chilled. You can serve this with some tortilla chips and a eating utensil. Yum.
(I am sharing this recipe with my dear blog friend Dee from Our Little Love Nest and I figured others may want to try it too. So here you go. Hope you enjoy this dish! I found the recipe card at Walmart. I found that cute vintage owl tray at the trift store the other day. It was a match made in heaven. I love it.)
