Steps to Make Sweet Potato Avocado Salad

Avocado Salad With Avocado-Lime Vinaigrette

You know that feeling when you're super excited for a long weekend, but getting ready for it is so stressful that by the time you're done getting ready for said long weekend, you feel like you need a second long weekend just.

Recipe Summary Avocado Salad With Avocado-Lime Vinaigrette

Not only are avocados delicious, they are one of the best vegetables out there. Low in cholesterol and sodium, a good source of dietary fiber, high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K and folate, and they are moderately anti-inflammatory. I like to serve the dressing on the side to keep portion sizes in check. With this salad, since the avocados are already slightly marinated in lime juice, you really don't need much more than a couple tablespoons of the vinaigrette to add the zing necessary to bring this salad alive. Enjoy with my low calorie-biscuits and you have a very satisfying and waist-trimming meal!

Sweet Potato Avocado Salad - I also had a ripe avocado laying around which made it into the salad and elevates this recipe even more, but you could always skip the avocado.
