Recipe: Salad with avocado

The to-go meal I am going to present today is a simple salad with avocado. The ingredients we need I use for this meal are: 

1 tomato 

2 eggs

5oz of lettuce 

1 avocado 

Mini carrots

Olive oil

White vinegar 

Salt. 

This recipe is for 1 person and consists of adding some mini carrots, and dicing tomato, eggs in a bowl containing 5oz of lettuces. We also want to cut the avocado, and the two eggs in small pieces (dicing or another way) to add them to the mixture. 

The last step is to add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of vinegar and 1 pinch of salt. 

I make this salad mostly during weeks days while going to work. In addition, I add 2 bananas and 1 yogurt as deserts.

I choose the USDA’s plate and I think it fits with the meal I made, because my salad is composed of some vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes), healthy oil/fats (olive oil, avocado), protein & dairy (yogurt) and fruits (bananas) which are the main foods we need for a healthy diet. The four or five main foods present in the USDA dietary were used for my recipe. The salad I made has a variety of nutrients, the quantity of fats and salt I used is reasonable.
