This yummy dish has great benefits.

When exploring and creating this salad, I decided to start off the dressing and base it off of avocado oil. What benefits does avocado oil have? Because this oil is made from avocados, it is full of healthy fats that boost our health.

Did you know that in France avocado oil has the status of a prescription drug? That is because consuming it often can reverse arthritis. It also has the healing effects of treating psoriasis which is a condition where skin cells build up and form rashy, scaly dry patches.

This Christmas dinner salad is fresh and tasty, with the arugula and pomegranate complementing each other in flavors. Feta cheese adds the perfect salty touch with the smooth avocado dressing adding the cherry on top. Happy holidays!

So what will I need to make this simple green salad?

Arugula is rich in antioxidants and and B-vitamins. It’s one of the best mixed greens options.

Sweet pomegranate helps to lower cancer risk and contains vitamin C.

Feta cheese is rich in protein.

To make the dressing, you will need avocado oil, honey, garlic, lemon juice, orange juice, creamy avocado, and salt.
