Cook over high heat until boiling, then reduce heat to medium and cook for about 1 to 1/2 hours
or until beans are tender but not mushy. Drain the beans and let cool.
Whisk all dressing ingredients in a medium bowl to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
To put it all together, toss the jumbo beans with half the dressing. Place the arugula, avocado slices and beans in a salad bowl and toss with additional dressing. You don’t need all of this, so add gradually.
