Corn & Avocado Salad on the bed of Spinach

Know What you Eat: As we all know avocados pack a nutrient punch with nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, the creamy texture of the fruit also gives this salad a delicious taste. Other nutrients include vitamin E, lutein and beta sitosterol. Vit E is an antioxidant, which means that it neutralizes free radicals, which can destroy a health cell or induce infammation. Of course we all know its good for your skin too.. This is a simple yet healthy cold salad, which compliments any vegetarian mexican meal goes directly to Sudeshna's Salad Carnival ; Divya's Show me your Salad , PJ's No Cook Event, Siri's Corner Healing food - Avocado, Preeti's Green Gourmet Event.
