Potato Fries Salad

 

Serves 2-4

A delicious and filling winter salad is one of my favorite ways to get all the food I want to eat on one plate! This gut health-promoting combo is packed with healthy fats, fiber, vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, selenium, most B vitamins, and vitamin C. Gluten and dairy-free and perfect for a meatless Monday meal or a hearty whole foods based side.

  • 1 avocado
