How long does this keep in the fridge?

Store your salad mixture in an airtight container. Press some plastic wrap overtop of the mixture to help reduce air flow. Cover the container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

How do I prevent my avocado from browning?

Make sure your avocado is not overly ripe. Instead, use an avocado that is slightly ripe (gives slightly when pinched). This in conjunction with the antioxidants from the lemon juice and properly covering the mixture will help reduce airflow, which significantly minimizes on the avocado browning.

Can I leave the garlic out?

You can mix and match the ingredients you like. If you feel that fresh garlic is too potent, replace with garlic powder instead.

Instructions

To a large mixing bowl add the beans, artichoke hearts, parsley, dill, scallion, nutritional yeast, oregano, mustard, grated garlic, lemon zest and juice, oil, maple syrup and a generous pinch of salt. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
If serving immediately, fold in your cubed avocado. Taste the mixture and add additional salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the mixture over some cooked grains like quinoa or use as a dip with some whole grain crackers.

Notes

Fold in the avocado when serving. If prepping ahead, mix everything together except the avocado. Fold in the avocado when ready to serve to help keep it fresh in the mixture.

Preserving the avocado if it’s already mixed in. To do this, pack the mixture into an airtight container and then cover the top either with a little oil or press some plastic wrap over top to help minimize air flow to the salad. Seal the container and store immediately in the fridge.

For the best flavor, allow your fully mixed salad to sit in the fridge for up to 30 minutes to really develop the flavors and also help mellow out the garlic.

Swap fresh garlic for powdered garlic. If fresh garlic is too much for you to handle, swap the fresh garlic for some garlic powder.

Balance the flavors to your liking. If you need more tang, add more mustard. Use more or less herbs based on your preference. Balance the tangy flavors with a little more sweetness using the maple syrup. Add the amount of oil that is comfortable for you.
