Fun & Juicy Avocado Salad

I was wondering what type of salad to make for last night’s dinner and came up with the idea of an avocado salad. Normally we don’t buy avocados but we got two as a gift; the first one was ripe and we ate it just plain with our dinner the other day but the other one wasn't ready yet.  As I was looking to see what ingredients I had for a yummy salad, I found the avocado and touched it to see if it was ready, yep it was!!! Ready to be eaten by us in a fun and juicy way.  

We had left over enchiladas with rice so I had to make a fresh side to go with it. My hubby is a veggie lover and in all our meals I have to add a side of veggies, they can be from broccoli to a fresh lettuce salad.

I've been wanting to start a mini diet but it’s very difficult to do it (yes, I love to eat). I’m not overweight but since we got married I've gained a couple of pounds (people say marriage does that to you) so I try to eat my veggies every night to bring the portions of the fattening parts down.  Yes, I know!!! Avocado has a lot of calories but it’s just one and it’s small.

OK, so here is what I’m using for this special salad.

Ingredients:

½ cup Feta cheese

2 cups chopped lettuce

1 Tomato

1 small chopped avocado

½ white onion chopped in small pieces

Some green olives

1 strawberry chopped in small pieces (just to make it look pretty and add sweetness to it )

2 tablespoons of chopped up walnuts (if you want)

Your favorite dressing

Directions:

Cut all your ingredients and mix them all together in a bowl. If you want to add walnuts to it feel free. Serve with your favorite dressing.

Fun & Juicy Avocado Salad

 When my hubby saw this plate, the first thing he said was "oh how fun" yeah!!! that's what he said and as he was eating it he said it was juicy and good. I love his reactions and sometimes those are the words that make the titles of my blogs. 

Have an awesome day and happy cooking!!!!
