Whenever you’re not sure how to put your avocados to some good use, adding them to your salad is a good idea. They’re a perfect add-in because they bring out the best in many other salad ingredients, and taste amazing on their own as well. As long as you keep these three things in mind, you’ll be golden.
Not Too Much
Avocados are often hailed as healthy fat, but that doesn’t change the fact that their fat and calorie content is pretty high. The main purpose of eating a salad is to have a healthy meal, so try to stick to a quarter or half of an avocado per serving so you don’t transform it into a calorie bomb.
Brown Avocados
Avocados have a tendency to brown pretty quickly, and your salad won’t look so great after this happens. That’s why you should always add them last to your salad after the rest of the ingredients are already inside the bowl.
Perfect Slices
You can slice your avocados anyway you want when adding them to salads, but there are a few slicing tricks you can use to make your salads better. Chunkier salads will benefit from chopped or diced avocados, while avocado slices work better with leafy green salads.
