A little lime and cilantro make this Black Bean, Avocado, Cucumber, and Tomato Salad a perfect companion for air fryer chicken breast, grilled chicken or steak. You can also serve this with chips as a dip, or serve it over grilled salmon.

My girlfriend made this refreshing black bean avocado salad years ago at a party, and we’ve made it a tradition at summer cookouts. It is the perfect side dish to take to a party in the summer or serve it with chips as a dip. I’ve also served this over grilled salmon, it’s so versatile!

I first posted this black bean salad recipe back in 2020, and recently updated the photos. This salad is always a crowd pleaser, it’s so fresh, healthy and delicious.

Black Bean Avocado Salad Ingredients

  • Black Beans: Canned black beans are an affordable pantry staple that I always have on hand. They’re so easy to add to many recipes. Just open the can and rinse and drain the beans in a colander.
  • Tomatoes: I used two medium tomatoes, but you could also use grape or cherry tomatoes.
  • Avocado: Dice two small avocados. You can drizzle them with fresh lime juice to prevent them from browning too quickly.
  • Cucumber: The cucumbers give this black bean salad a wonderful fresh summer flavor. If you don’t have a seedless English cucumber, cut out the seeds of a regular one.
  • Red Onion: Sub white onion or scallions.
  • Cilantro: If you’re not a cilantro fan, skip it. You could add minced garlic or jalapeño for extra flavor.
  • Lime Juice: Juice two limes over the bean mixture.
  • Salt and Pepper: Season to taste.

How long is black bean salad good for?

Leftovers make great, quick lunches and will hold for three days in the fridge. If you want to make this ahead, I do recommend adding the avocado right before eating it so it doesn’t turn brown and mushy.
