Simple, tasty and healthy: preparing quick avocado salads

Avocado has thousands of fans around the world. The fruit with a delicate, butter-like pulp has a unique taste, subtle aroma with a nutty note and a lot of useful properties. Alligator pear (as the tropical fruit is otherwise called) goes well with many other products, therefore it is often used in cooking for making snacks, salads, sandwiches and other cold dishes. Today we are going to talk about how to introduce avocado into your diet using simple and quick salads.

Step-by-step recipes for quick and delicious avocado salads

My childhood fell on Soviet times, when store shelves were not replete with a luxurious selection of exotic fruits and vegetables. Oranges, tangerines and frozen pineapples - that's, perhaps, all that I remember from the unusual overseas fruits sold at that time. Therefore, later, when I grew up, and the shopping arcade began to give the buyer the opportunity to a wide selection of all kinds of products, my active acquaintance with those gifts of nature began, the taste of which was hitherto unknown to me. One of the first new "acquaintances" was the avocado. The nondescript-looking fruit impressed me with its unusual pulp structure and taste. Since then to this day, the alligator pear is almost always present on my menu in the form of salads and other excellent dishes.
