1 ripe tomato diced

Diced red and green peppers

Avocado

Despite being known for their high fat content, 4 oz of avocado has less fat than a salad made with 2 tablespoons of Italian dressing, a cup of potato salad made with mayonnaise, or a 3 oz burger patty made of lean beef.

The fat in avocado is primarily monounsaturated (the good type of fat) and therefore may help lower cholesterol levels. So enjoy!
