Avocados are great for real food lovers. They are high in nutrients and good fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. They help to boost the good HDL cholesterol and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Besides forming the base of guacamole, avocados are a delicious way to enhance a real food omelet, chicken dish, or as this recipe will show, salad.
