Avocado, Blueberry & Pumpkin Seed Salad

Spanish conquistadors had their own historian, Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo, who reported positively about avocados discovered in Mexico around 1519, but this creamy fruit has graced Central and South America cuisine for thousands of years, according to the avocado-inspired drawings and artifacts found in early Aztec settlements. With nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in an avocado, not to mention nutrition-rich and antioxidant benefits of blueberries and pumpkin seeds, this gorgeous 'super-food' summer salad with heart healthy fats as well as potent antioxidants, is gluten-free and absolutely delicious.
