Easy Avocado Salad Recipe: Healthy and Delicious

Avocado Salad Recipe

I’ve been on the avocado bandwagon for a while. That’s a good thing because they now have a reputation as being one of the world’s healthiest foods. They can lower your cholesterol and help your body absorb other nutrients. They ease arthritis inflammation and reduce your risk of certain cancers, But as tasty as they are, avocados just aren’t a fruit (Yes, they’re not veggies) made to eat alone like apples and oranges.

I top off nachos with them and I make guacamole dip. I decided an avocado salad would be the next best way to eat them. I’m just not ready to try them in a pudding with chocolate. Maybe later.

So I researched some recipes and came up with my own version. It’s super healthy, made from fresh ingredients full of nutrition. You don’t need any mayo or salad dressing. The creaminess of the avocados eliminates the need.

I made it for a Father’s Day cookout, so my recipe makes 12 servings. Cut it in half for a smaller crowd.
