This salad is a frequent meal at our house. We have it several times a week, because it's just so darned healthy for us. And it's real easy to make. Luckily, since we live in South Texas we can get avocados and tomatoes year-round. We like to have this for dinner with a fruit crumble for dessert.
serves 2 as a main dish
1 avocado, cut in cubes
1 large tomato, diced
salt
3 cups baby spinach leaves
hemp oil* or olive oil
pumpkin seeds
Wash the spinach and divide between 2 large salad bowls. Small mixing bowls are a nice size, also.
Salt the diced tomato and place half on top of the spinach in each bowl.
Salt the cubed avocado and place half on top of tomatoes in each bowl.
Drizzle with hemp or olive oil and sprinkle about 2 teaspoons pumpkin seeds on top of each serving.
* If you haven't tried hemp oil, you are missing something wonderful. It has a nutty taste and lots of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Don't overdo it though, because the flavor can overpower your salad.
