This is probably my favorite "salad" to eat. I eat it with everything; chicken, salmon, beef, tacos, and sandwich wraps!

I don't measure when I make this so I am guessing the measurements here. It should be fairly accurate. I am also including nutritional info for the quantities listed.

The nutritional info is based on 24 servings of 1 Tablespoon per serving. Once again, this is more of a guess, but I think it should be close.

Tomato Avocado Salad


1/2 cup red onion, chopped
4 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 avocado, chopped
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
salt to taste

Place onion, tomato, avocado, and cilantro in a medium sized bowl. Add the juice from lime and salt to taste. Mix well without mashing avocado.
Let sit for 15 - 30 minutes before serving.

I am estimating there is approx. 24 servings of 1 tablespoon each.

9 pounds is a great loss for 1 week. I never had a "big" loss right after surgery but I have lost 5-6 pounds every week and I am happy with that!

That's great Cathi! I knew the weight was going to start coming off again. I think before your body was just in shock and refused to let anything go, but now the weight is coming off again! Whoo Hoo!

I went to the doctor today and I've lost another 10 lbs! So that means I lost 23.4 lbs since surgery. I lost 14.1 lbs in the 2 weeks prior to surgery, so my grand total is 37.5 lbs lost!!

And I had to drive my parents' car today in order to take my mom to her doctor appointment (my car is too low for her to get in and out of with her newly operated-on hip)...now, I have never been able to buckle the seat belt in their car. When I got in today, I buckled it! I was so excited!! It's little things like that that make this experience so exciting.
