Ingredients:

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped

  • ½ red onion, finely diced

  • 1–2 jalapeños, minced (optional)

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 medium avocado, diced (optional — adds points)

🥣 Zero Point Dressing:

  • Juice of 2 limes

  • Optional sweetener (a pinch of monk fruit or Stevia, if desired)

Instructions:

  1. Combine all chopped veggies and beans in a large mixing bowl.

  2. Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.

  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.

  4. Chill for at least 30 minutes to let flavors blend.

  5. Stir in diced avocado right before serving, if using.

✅ WW Tips:

  • Avocado adds points, so omit or measure carefully if tracking strictly.

  • Beans, corn, and most veggies are Zero Points on many WW plans, especially for those with beans in their zero-point food list.

  • Serve with cut-up veggies or on lettuce wraps instead of chips to keep it 0 points.
