TOMATO AND AVOCADO SALAD



Tomato and Avocado Salad image

A simple palatable avocado salad blended with onion and tomato is one of the easiest and healthiest salads. It is normally used as an appetizer or as a side salad with the main course. Avocado belongs to the pear family and is also famously known as alligator or croc pear because of its shape and dark green roughly textured skin. Avocado is considered as a super healthy food and is a store house of nutrients like monounsaturated fats and omega-3. Avocado not only keeps your heart healthy but also protects your eyes and skin. Most importantly it provides protection against cancer in particular breast cancer.
