Health benefits of Tomato Avocado Salad

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

2 tsps Dijon mustard
8 cups shredded or chopped bibb lettuce
4 oz provolone cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
2 avocados
1 oz lemon juice
2 Italian tomatoes

Instructions

1. Chop the tomatoes, avocado and provolone and add to the lettuce.

2. For the dressing, mix the remaining ingredients and pour on the salad.

3. Toss well, serve immediately.

4. Note: getting a 4 oz chunk of provolone from the deli is better than using slices. It is chunkier and fills out the bowl better.
