Chunky White Bean Avocado Dip
Avocados, White Beans, Garlic, Cilantro, Lime Juice
I used dried white beans and cooked them to use in this recipe. Here is a good resource on how to cook white beans. Cooking from dried beans is much more economical than using canned beans. You also don't run the added risk of anything leaching in to your food from a tin can.

It is important how you peel your avocado! The highest concentration of carotenoid antioxidants lies in the dark green outer flesh of the avocado. Try not to cut into that part any more than necessary. It is best to peel the avocado skin off with your hands, much like you would a banana.
