Healthy, because
Avocados contain many unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, which fights inflammation in the body and thus has a positive effect on our heart health. It also contains folate, which is particularly important for pregnant women in the first weeks of pregnancy, as it protects against miscarriage and developmental disorders.
Even smarter
Do not serve the salad directly, then you should sprinkle some lemon juice on the avocado cubes as well, otherwise they will turn brown. A rosemary focaccia goes well with the avocado latte with tomatoes.
