Black Bean Ensalada with Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing

4/10/2015 0 Comments
 
​Today we've been refueling our body with fresh raw meals. From green smoothies, fresh squeezed orange juice to this! An almost raw dinner with black beans, fresh vegetables, cilantro, lime and avocado with pecans on top. We had ours with a homemade healthy dressing made from avocados, cilantro, lime and even a little jalapeno to spice it up. This salad made us feel great! The flavor is sensational and we both ate our full bowl, leaving us feeling vibrantly healthy from all of the fresh living foods. One of our healthy habits is to take a walk before dinner, even if it isn't very big and get some movement in. Then we work up an appetite and are ready to be refueled. I hope you enjoy this healthy, delicious, brain-food, alkalizing, heart healthy salad! This meal is free of gluten, dairy, oil and is high in protein!
