Avocado salad

Avocado, Brussels Sprout, Kale and Date Salad provides a delicious introduction to avocado.

It’s no secret that adding greens to your menu can go a long way toward healthier eating habits, but avocados are a superfruit you can use to add good fats and great taste to recipes.

As a versatile fruit with naturally good fats and nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, avocados have become a household staple. They provide a good source of naturally unsaturated fats, which can be part of a heart-healthy eating pattern when consumed in place of saturated fats. A well-balanced diet that includes nutrient-rich foods like avocados, whole grains, lean proteins and fiber-rich vegetables can support overall heart health. Avocados are also a good source of fiber, with 3 grams per one-third of a medium avocado.
