Avocado & Tomato Salad

I'm not sure if this can be called a salad. The jury is still out. In the meantime, I shall call it salad.

Ingredients

1 ripe avocado, diced
1 tomato, diced (or a handful of cherry tomatoes)
Feta, crumbled
Epicure Sansel Red Garlic

Mix it all together. Eat and be happy. Why? Because avocado is good for you. Did you know it's a fruit? So, really, this is a fruit salad, but I wouldn't add the whipped cream just yet. They are a source of Vitamin K (needed for blood clotting, so you don't bleed to death from that paper cut), fiber (keeps everything moving along smoothly, lowers cholesterol), vitamin B6 (it's complicated), vitamin C (growth and repair of body tissues) and potassium (your heart needs it to keep pumping). It is also 20 times fattier than your average fruit. But don't let that scare you. It's monounsaturated fat which helps keep 'bad' cholesterol levels down and 'good' cholesterol levels up. Remember this: a bright green avocado is NOT a ripe avocado!

Sansel Red Garlic will change your life. Well, maybe not, but it will make your life taste better. It doesn't have any salt, which will also make your life better. I add it to just about everything that needs a flavour boost. Kraft Dinner will never be the same again :)
