Healthy side salads: How to serve them

You can also serve it with Black Bean Burgers.

This simple recipe can be a healthy sandwich spread instead of egg salad, tuna, or avocado toast.
By adding a source of protein, I can make it a meal. Some traditional summer avocado salads call for grilled salmon, chicken, or shrimp. Instead, I make a vegan avocado salad with lentils, chickpeas, or beans.

Avocado salad: How to prepare it
All ingredients must be gathered.
Wait a few more days if your avocado has not yet ripened. Please place it in a brown bag along with an apple or banana. This will help the avocado ripen faster.
Avocados will be ripe when they are slightly pliable but not mushy.
Combine diced avocados, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Add the protein source along with all other ingredients.
Season to taste. Serve the salad chilled.
Keep leftovers in a covered, airtight container in the fridge. Salad leftovers should be good for three days. Avocados may turn brown, but this will not affect their taste.
The more tightly you seal the container, the less air will enter the salad. Use a tight-fitting lid or wrap plastic directly on the vegetables. This will prolong the time for the avocado to oxidize and turn brown.
Although technically you can freeze the recipe, it will alter the texture. For best results, do not freeze this salad.
Avocados are good for your health
Avocados contain many vitamins and minerals, including folate, potassium, and vitamin C. They also have vitamin E and vitamin K.
Avocados do not contain low-fat food. However, most of their fat content is unsaturated, which is good for your heart. This is why avocados are included in many weight-loss diets.
Avocados provide eight percent of your daily fiber requirement in a single serving. Avocados also contain less sugar than other fruits.
