Discovered in Mexico around 1519, the creamy avocado has graced Central and South America cuisine for thousands of years, according to the avocado-inspired drawings and artifacts found in early Aztec settlements. Also known as an alligator pear or butter fruit, the versatile avocado is a naturally nutrient-dense food that contains nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. In addition to the nutrition-rich and antioxidant benefits of blueberries and pumpkin seeds, this vibrant 'super-food' summer salad with heart healthy fats and antioxidants, is gluten-free, refreshing and absolutely delicious.
