The main ingredient in this salad is avocado. The capricious gift of the South American continent appeared in our country relatively recently, about 20-25 years ago. However, today many have liked and firmly entered the local cuisine. Avocado is in demand due to its unusual neutral taste and unique composition. It contains a lot of protein, therefore, in terms of nutritional value, it is equated to legumes and diet meats. Moreover, it contains a lot of nutrients. The delicate pulp of avocado is not combined with all products, but in a company with Peking and nuts, this is the most popular and harmonious combination of ingredients. In addition, Chinese cabbage is indispensable for a healthy diet due to the content of vitamins and vegetable protein.
