Tomato Avocado Salad

Healthy and so flavorful, this Tomato Avocado Salad makes a great addition to your dinner or lunch. This is one of the most loved recipes in my family!

Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of these ingredients

Avocados:

Avocados are packed with healthy fats, which contrary to popular belief, can actually help you lose weight. They are also rich in fiber, so they help you feel full for longer.

Tomatoes:

They are heart healthy foods mostly due to lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant that gives tomatoes their red color. Our body cannot produce lycopene so it must cone from food sources.
This potent carotenoid and phytonutrient help neutralize free radicals in our body.
Tomatoes are also packed with vitamin E and C, which are great for heart health.
