BRAIN HEALTHY STUFFED AVOCADO SALAD

Aug.posted by Paula 6 Comments

Brain Healthy Stuffed Avocado Salad – Avocados are nutrient-dense with vitamins and minerals. Stuffed with berries and broccoli then drizzled with balsamic reduction, these stuffed avocados are super healthy and delicious.

Brain Healthy Stuffed Avocado Salad is nutrient-dense with a lot of vitamins & minerals.

BRAIN HEALTHY STUFFED AVOCADO SALAD

I’ve been researching foods that are good for brain health. Turns out avocados, broccoli, and blueberries are all good for your brain (and your body) and they pair nicely together.

As well, sunflower seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts are good brain food. Walnuts may have an extra edge since they also deliver anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. (Coincidently, I forgot to put the chopped walnuts on this salad for the photos.)

I also grabbed blackberries and raspberries while I was at the store. They looked so good and made a great addition to my stuffed avocado.

BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

I topped my Brain Healthy Stuffed Avocado Salad with balsamic reduction. Balsamic vinaigrette would also be delicious as would date syrup if you want a touch of sweetness.

HOW TO STORE PRODUCE

  1. Fresh fruit will last longer if you keep it in the original packaging and stored in the crisper of your fridge. Don’t wash them until you’re ready to eat them. Berries will last about a week in the fridge.
  2. Greens and herbs need to be stored in a sealed bag. This reduces oxygen flow and maintains nutrients.
  3. Citrus needs to be kept in a mesh bag so oxygen can flow around it.
  4. Wrap celery in foil. The stalks will stay fresher longer.
  5. Store tomatoes on the counter uncovered.
  6. For asparagus, store in water in a glass.
  7. Store your mushrooms in a brown paper bag.
  8. For carrots, cut the tops off before storing them in the fridge.
  9. Wrap cucumbers in paper towels or store them in paper bags in the fridge to absorb moisture.
  10. Bell peppers need to be in a dry sealed bag in your crisper in the fridge.
  11. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes should not be stored in the fridge.
