Avocado Veggie Mixed Greens

Avocados are nutrient-dense fruits packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and vitamins K, E, C, and B6. Regular consumption helps lower “bad” LDL cholesterol, improves heart health, reduces metabolic syndrome risk, supports weight management by promoting satiety, and enhances eye health through lutein and zeaxanthin this all according to Harvard Health.   Why not add them to a mixed green salad.
