Super healthy, delicious and easy crab salad recipe so you will enjoy the best sandwich ever or prepare it for an extra quick and easy side dish.
Did you know you can easily substitute mayo with much healthier mashed, creamy avocado? This is something they know in Mexico for ages, and they call it ‘guacamole’.
For those that have read that you can grow fat by eating avocados, do know you kan lose lots of weight by simply substituting "supermarket mayo" – the ones filled with transfat and extra added sugars – for avocado. Not to mention what these hardened transfats will do inside your cardiovascular system.
"Hardened" means changing a liquid oil into a hard "fatty" substance. This makes it harder for bacteria and other micro-organisms to consume the oil. This makes it equally difficult (not to mention impossible) for your body (which is also a complex system of micro-organisms) to consume these hardened fats.
Add to that: flavoring mashed avocado with more fresh ingredients, is much easier and faster than making fresh mayonaise at home… and much more delicious.
