Citrusy Avocado and White Bean Salad on Bread

The combination of crispy carrots and nuts with the gooey avocado and beans creates a sensational mix of textures.

With the citrus, vinegar and probiotics, this is another one of those salads which is great for alkalizing the body and thus good for inflammation issues and may be considered another "Cancer Busting" salad.  The addition of a bit of spice speeds up the metabolism for better absorption.

Enjoy as a side salad or as a main on crispy toast as I did with this batch.  These pictures reflect a doubling of the ingredients listed, making enough for 5 large pizza style toppings and enough left over for the wife's lunch the next day.

Our local shop had run out of sweet onion (salad onions) but the red onion worked out fine.  I also found that the lemons and oranges were particularly juicy, making the final mix quite moist!

Preparation Time:  20 mins.   Serves 3 toasties.

Ingredients:

1 16 oz. can white beans (cannellini) - drained, rinsed
1 small avocado, diced
1/3 cup sweet onion, diced
1 small carrot, chopped
1/2 cup spinach, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp hemp or sunflower seeds
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
2 tsp white miso paste
1 Tbsp fresh tangerine or orange juice + pinch of zest
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast

pinch of cayenne pepper
salt + pepper to taste

topping: harissa


toasted bread (I used rye flatbread)

note: obviously your can greatly tweak the ingredients in this recipe by trying different veggies, seeds, beans and even seasonings.

Directions:

1. Add the beans and avocado to a large mixing bowl ( I used a food processor). Mash well with a fork until thick and chunky, yet creamy like a chunky guacamole or hummus.  Beans may be fully or partially mashed depending on texture preferred.
2. Prep all your veggies and fold into the avocado mixture, again, I used a food processor to roughly chop. 
3.  Add sunflower or other seeds or nuts of your choice.  You may choose to chop these with the above.
4. Whisk or blend the nutritional yeast, white miso paste, the citrus juices vinegar and spices. Fold this liquid into the mixture and continue folding until well combined and the veggies begin to soak into the creamy and liquid.
5. Serve right away or chill in the fridge for 15-30 minutes before serving. This fresh salad is best served right away, since it slightly separates when left over night in the fridge.
