Anti-Aging Avocado and Parsnip Salad
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
This anti-aging salad is a delicious mixture of hot and cold ingredients, all with healthy nutrients as well. The vitamin C in the tomatoes and avocado is good for skin health because it’s a precursor to collagen that keeps elasticity in the skin. Avocado is also a source of skin-healthy biotin and monounsaturated fat that helps to hydrate the skin as well and is anti-inflammatory. Finally, the vitamin A in the tomatoes and parsnips is an antioxidant that helps to repair damage to the skin. (See my 10 favorite anti-aging foods.)
