Avocado Salad

We love avocados for the delicious flavor and creamy texture they add to salads, but they do so much more than simply please our palate.

Avocados have proven cancer-fighting abilities due to a certain toxin they contain that is able to kill and prevent the growth of cancer cells. Furthermore, potassium in avocados can regulate blood pressure, while their oleic acid can help lower cholesterol. Delicious and cancer-fighting? Yes, please!
