tomato avocado salad
Something happens when you put these two fruits together. The combination not only tastes wonderful. But, nutritionally, magic happens. When combined, the nutrients within each fruit complement each other, allowing the body to absorb more vitamins from them than if they were eaten separately (a.k.a., more “bio-available” to your body). This recipe is laden with vitamin E, B-complex vitamins and potassium. Avocado also adds a fair amount of protein. And healthy fat. Make your best effort to buy “vine-ripened” organic tomatoes – as other tomatoes are often picked green and then ripened with ethylene gas.
1 ripe avocado
2 small vine-ripened tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tblsp extra virgin olive oil
- Slice and dice tomato and avocado and place in a bowl.
- Mix lemon juice and olive oil together with salt and pepper. Pour over tomato and avocado mixture and gently toss to combine.
