I was trying to think of salad dressing substitutes... what do you think of blending together avocado, lemon and/or lime juice and some cilantro? Might work with the beans, too.

How about things like vinegar and miso? I rely on raw unfiltered
apple cider vinegar and miso quite a bit for seasoning my grain/bean
dishes. I'm thinking that lemon or lime juice would be a good
substitute, other thoughts? Any good "sauce" type recipes that
people can post to give others ideas?
