Food To Be Fit: The BEST Salad
This is a salad of many names. Middle Eastern Salad, Chopped Salad, Israeli Salad...I'm not one to argue semantics, so I'm just going to bypass all of those names and go for something new. This salad will now be known as The BEST Salad! So light and delicious, I love that you can taste everything in it!! It might take you a while to chop everything up into little pieces, but I promise you the end result is worth it. If you plan on taking this for lunch, or keeping it in the fridge overnight, the avocado should be fine as there is lemon juice on it to keep it from browning. However, totally up to you if you want to add your own avocado when you want to eat your salad. I'd also recommend keeping the tahini dressing off of the salad when staying in the fridge.
