I love adding avocado because it's a great source of cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fats, as well as potassium and fibre. Toss your salad with a lean meat or a plant-based protein, such as beans or lentils, to up the protein content and give your salad a bit more staying power. The last thing you want is to be running back to the kitchen an hour after you eat. –Davida Kugelmass of The Healthy Maven Read more: 3 Tips to Beat Summer Salad Boredom 5 Healthy Roasted Chickpea Recipes How to Cleanse and Still Eat Real Food   Best Health Magazine © 2016 Reader's Digest Magazines (Canada) Ltd.
