“If any woman should drown her salad in mayonnaise and says she is doing clean eating, she does nothing but deceives herself.” James 1: 24, Clean Eating Bible.

 

I fell in love with avocado salad during my university days. It was a simple mixture of avocados, tomatoes, onions and mayonnaise that tasted more amazing than it looked. I still remember the local restaurant that sold it and inspired me to make mine. I still remember how heavenly it felt as it went down my tummy with a bite of bread.

 

For some reason, avocados are locally called, “pear” in Cameroon although pear is a seperate fruit in other parts of the world. So we call this salad, pear salad or purée in French (though it wasn’t pureed or anything like that). Years later, I still make this salad and weep for joy as it goes down my tummy.

 

This month I decided to eat clean so instead of drowning my darling avocado salad in a killer mixture of mayonnaise, salt, vinegar and sugar, I simply dressed it in extra virgin olive oil, salt and a few shakes of powdered black pepper. If you want to hold on to your mayo, that’s fine. Just make sure you eat in moderation.

 

 

Avocado is a  super food and you should have it regularly in your diet. Here is why:
  • It fights cancer.
  • It contains heart-healthy fats.
  • It aids digestion.
  • It regulates blood sugar levels.
  • It is anti-inflammatory.
  • It does much more!

 

 

Another noteworthy thing is that avocado is a fruit and not a vegetable. A salad like this takes a fruit that already tastes great and makes it exceptional. The salad is crunchy with freshness from the tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers and creamy from the texture of the avocados. It can be eaten together with wheat bread for breakfast or as a side to other meals.

Here are the vegetables you need for the salad:

I actually used one avocado and not the two you see there. I would have preffered my cucumber with the skin on but the lone cucumber in my kitchen had already been peeled by some people here who love cucumbers with their life.

Now, cut and peel the avocado. Cut into chunks. Cut the tomato and cucumber into similar shapes.

Put all of that in a bowl. Cut onions and throw on top.

Now add in your extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.

Mix everything together. I love this stuff!

  2. Hi Lady P.

    Lmao @ "James 1: 24 Clean Eating Bible." You are so right, the choice of salad dressing could make or mar the "cleanliness" os any salad.

    I love avocados, the taste and texture is so yummy. This salad looks easy to make and is bursting at the seams with nutritional goodness.

    Thank you for sharing your recipe!

  32. Absolutely love me some avocado salad. Very simple yummy recipe. Totally not a fan of Olive oil. Never liked the flavor. My go to dressing is mostly Macadamia nuts blended with some lemon and tangerine/orange juice. The creaminess takes care of my mayo cravings
