10-MIN CRISPY
Potato Chip Salad
The result is a salad I've made three times since, and will continue to make it all summer long. It's everything I want in a summer salad, and is excellent served with grilled fare like hot dogs, grilled chicken, and pulled pork. It'll blow everyone away at your next summer gathering or potluck.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
