Avocados are so good for you! Every woman over 40 should eat half an avocado a day because it provides the healthy fats you need to combat the dryness of aging. Those fats are good for your brain, and help you absorb your supplements, too.

Here’s my favorite salad right now.

Each plate of greens is half spinach and half arugula.

Top each plate of greens with half an avocado, sliced.

For the dressing, grate one shallot, sprinkle it with a little red wine vinegar, and whisk in about twice as much olive oil with a fork. Drizzle about a teaspoon on your salad.

We’ve been eating this a lot lately, and everyone loves it. I hope you enjoy it, too!
