HEALTH BENEFITS OF AVOCADO

Outside of having little to no carbs, avocado is high in healthy fats. Not to mention, it contains many nutrients and vitamins that your body needs on a daily basis. Avocado is a good source of vitamin K, C, E, folate and potassium So, consider this cucumber tomato salad a great healthy addition to your day.

Cucumber and tomato salad will last refrigerated for 3-4 days, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap. Don’t leave it out at room temperature for more than two hours to avoid excessive moisture.Cucumber Tomato Salad with Avocado
