• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

• 1 garlic clove, minced
• crushed red pepper flakes

directions

1. Mix up salad ingredients.
2. Mix up dressing ingredients.
3. Combine and let flavors blend for at least 30 minutes.
4. We served the avocado on the side since only my husband likes it. The cilantro is a key ingredient for this. I made the dressing as written but doubled the lime juice. We used brown organic rice and home cooked black beans instead of canned.
5. Cooking time is for the 3rd step. Not included is the time to cook the rice.
