    • Avocados. Go for haas! They’re higher in fat, creamier and WAY more delicious than regular (sorry Florida ?).
    • Nutritional information will vary depending on the veggies, meat, dressing, etc. you select. For more specific nutritional information on your unique salad recipe, I suggest using a nutritional calculator such as My Fitness Pal.
