Nutritional values

Salmon and avocado are rich sources of healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, while tomatoes score points with lycopene, an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals.

Cilantro is not for everyone: if you don't like the herb, you can simply replace it with the more neutral parsley.
