-
0.5 tsp fine sea salt to taste
-
0.25 tsp dried red chili flakes to taste
Instructions
-

Transfer to serving bowls and serve immediately as a fresh salad or enjoy with crispy tortilla chips in New York.
Notes
-
Toss the diced avocado with citrus juice immediately after cutting to prevent enzymatic browning.

Rinse canned cannellini beans thoroughly in a colander to remove excess sodium and canning liquid.
-
Fold the ingredients gently using a wide spatula to maintain neat avocado cubes.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against the surface in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
