This salad was inspired by my travels to South America, where I was introduced to the amazing flavors of avocados, mixed greens, red cabbage, and carrots. I was also inspired by the healthy eating habits of the people I met there. This salad is a combination of all of those influences, and it's a great way to enjoy the flavors of South America while getting a healthy meal.
