Mexican Salad & Avocado Mayo !

We wanted to have tacos tonight and wanted a delicious side to go with them... So here's our take on a mexican style salad. It's very simple but delicious !


Ingredients
  • 1 can of black beans
  • 1 can of peaches & cream corn
  • 1 whole avocado diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 lemon squeezed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt & pepper

Just mix all the ingredients together. You can play around with the amount of lemon, salt & pepper depending on your taste.


Also, we decided we wanted to add a different sauce to the tacos so we made an avocado mayo.

Ingredients
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/2 a lemon squeezed
  • 1 whole ripe avocado
  • 2 cloves of garlic (we love garlic)
  • salt & pepper 

Separate the egg yolks from the whites and put the yolks in a bowl.

You will need a hand mixer. Beat the egg yolks with the lemon.

Add the oil in very slowly while beating the mix. This is a pretty long process, it's at least 20 minutes of mixing. It is VERY important to add the oil in slowly or else it will be too liquidy.

When the mixture is thick, add the avocado, garlic, salt & pepper and mix together. The garlic isn't mandatory but like we said we love garlic.

This makes a big batch. If you want less, adjust portions accordingly.
