In my house we love avocado recipes. We love to make all kinds of things with avocados from an Easy Guacamole Recipe to adding it to a Chickpea Salad Sandwich to making a Tropical Avocado Toast.
Not only do I love adding tuna and salmon to meals but I love using avocados.
Avocados provide numerous health benefits, as they are naturally rich in nutrients and contain nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C, E, K, and B-6.
Avocados are also an excellent source of healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats, as well as omega-3s, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health.
Avocados are also an excellent source of riboflavin, magnesium, potassium, lutein and beta-carotene.
