Mexican Salad

This recipe comes from Kardena Pauza, former Ms Fitness America and her Easy Veggie Meal Plans.

With plenty of good and healthy ingredients like avocado and pumpkin seeds, both of which are great health foods. Just to name one each, Avocados contain “oleic acid”, a monounsaturated fat that may help lower cholesterol. And Pumpkin seeds are superb source of magnesium and zinc, which both come with health benefits, “prostate protection” for men being the most known one. And plenty of healthful minerals, protein and monounsaturated fat too!
