Nutritionist notes: No dressing needed! Avocado works beautifully to moisten the salad and give it a nice flavor. Pair it with a bit of sea salt and you have one delicious-tasting meal! Tip: It is recommended to buy sea salt that has added iodine. Use the appropriate measuring spoons when adding sea salt to make sure to get the right amount, since too much salt is not good for our bodies.
