PEPPER AVOCADO SALSA
Much of our summer menu is done on the grill, and peppers and avocados are favorites in my family. That led me to create this recipe to help spice up our barbecued entrees. I have also served it as an appetizer or thin wedges of bread and as a topping for easy country-style dishes like chicken and rice pilaf. With our 14-year-old daughter, we live on 4 wooded acres on Mt. Pisqua. -Theresa Mullens, Gill, Massachusetts

BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA
This has to be my favorite summer salsa. It's colorful and fresh tasting. It makes a bunch, so invite some friends over. I like to take the lime after it's been juiced and rub down the bowl I will be serving the salsa in. I also rub the lime on the plastic wrap this will help keep the avocados from turning brown. Don't forget the tortilla chips!

WHITE BEAN AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH GARLIC OIL
Buttery avocado and creamy cannellini beans are a natural combination in this easy salad, and a quick garlic oil provides punch. The ingredient list is fairly simple, but here are a couple of tips that take it from good to great: First, make sure to remove the sliced garlic from the oil just as it starts to turn golden, so it doesn't burn. Second, when working with ripe avocados, bypass the standard way of scooping the flesh out of the skin. Instead, achieve immaculate edges by quartering the avocado lengthwise, then gently peeling back the skin to remove the flesh.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high until it shimmers. Add the garlic and cook, stirring carefully, until it just starts to crisp and turn slightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon and set aside the garlic oil.
- Halve the avocados lengthwise, pit them, then slice each half lengthwise into two pieces. Peel the avocados, then cut into bite-size pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the beans, cilantro, lemon juice and reserved garlic oil. Gently toss to coat, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide among 4 shallow bowls or plates. Garnish with lemon zest, fried garlic and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.

CREAMY AVOCADO AND WHITE BEAN WRAP
"White beans mashed with ripe avocado and blended with sharp Cheddar and onion makes an incredibly rich, flavorful filling for this wrap. The tangy, spicy slaw adds crunch. Serve with tortilla chips, salsa and Tecate beer." This is a fast and easy vegetarian wrap, perfect for a lunch. Feel free to make it vegan - I think it is delish without the cheese! Recipe from Eating Well Magazine, July/Aug 2009. Sometimes I sub out some of the red cabbage for lettuce. I have also subbed white vinegar for the cider vinegar. Lastly, I have added tomatoes and then left the avocado cubed and the beans whole (not mashing them as per the original recipe).

Steps:
- Whisk vinegar, oil, chipotle chile and salt in a medium bowl. Add cabbage, carrot and cilantro; toss to combine.
- Mash beans and avocado in another medium bowl with a potato masher or fork. Stir in cheese and onion.
- To assemble the wraps, spread about 1/2 cup of the bean-avocado mixture onto a wrap (or tortilla) and top with about 2/3 cup of the cabbage-carrot slaw. Roll up. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut the wraps in half to serve, if desired.
- NOTE: Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are smoked jalapeños packed in a flavorful sauce. Look for the small cans with the Mexican foods in large supermarkets. Once opened, they'll keep at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer. I have also used chipotle sauce with wonderful results.
AVOCADO AND BLACK EYED PEA SALSA
Steps:
- Lightly mix together avocados, green onion, cilantro, tomatoes, corn, and black-eyed peas in a salad bowl until well combined.

FRESH SALSA WITH AVOCADO AND BLACK BEANS
Thanks to my friend Erin for this lovely little concoction! A nice twist on traditional pico de gallo. The recipe is loose.....feel free to put the word 'about' in front of each item on the ingredient list. To save some calories, you can simply omit the balsamic vinaigrette and add a little lime juice. Very tasty either way! Particularly nice served poolside with a frozen drink!

Tips:
- Utilize Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your salsa directly depends on the freshness of your ingredients. Use ripe avocados, crisp white beans, and flavorful cilantro for the best results.
- Choose the Right Type of White Beans: Cannellini beans are commonly used in this recipe due to their creamy texture and mild flavor. However, you can substitute them with other white beans like Great Northern beans or navy beans based on your preference.
- Don't Over-Mash the Avocado: While you want to achieve a creamy texture, avoid over-mashing the avocado as it can make the salsa too mushy. Leave some small chunks for a more appealing texture.
- Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Add more lime juice for a tangy kick, salt for savoriness, or cumin for a warm, earthy flavor.
- Serve Fresh: Avocado and white bean salsa is best served fresh. Prepare it just before serving to maintain its vibrant flavors and creamy texture.

The combination of creamy avocado, hearty white beans, and zesty cilantro makes this Avocado and White Bean Salsa a delightful and versatile dish. Its fresh, vibrant flavors and appealing texture make it a perfect accompaniment to various dishes, from tacos and burritos to grilled chicken or fish.
