- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into the food processor.
- Add the blanched green beans and peanut butter to the food processor.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
- Season the creamy avocado and green bean mixture with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice for a hint of brightness.
- Serve the creamy avocado and green bean salad in individual bowls and garnish with additional green beans or avocado slices if desired.
