Peach Nutrition and Health Benefits
Not only are peaches delicious, especially when they’re in season, but they also have a load of nutrients that makes them beneficial for your health.
Fiber
1 medium peach has 2 grams of fiber (source), which helps support gut health as well as heart health and cholesterol. Half of the fiber in peaches is soluble fiber and the other half is insoluble fiber. I talk more about soluble fiber here.
Vitamins and Antioxidants
Peaches are also a good source of vitamin C and vitamin A, providing 17% of the Daily Value of vitamin C and 10% of the Daily Value of vitamin A. Peaches also contain vitamin E and potassium.
Vitamin C and vitamin E are antioxidants, which protect your body against free radicals. Vitamin A in peaches is in the form of beta-carotene, which is also an antioxidant.
Peach Avocado Salad Ingredients
- Peach: Peaches provide loads of nutrients and are also a sweet addition to this salad.
- Romaine lettuce: Leafy greens are a great way to up your veggie intake and romaine lettuce also provides a nice crunch.
- Tomato: Tomatoes in the summer are so fresh and naturally sweet.
- Bell pepper: Bell peppers also provide vitamin C – in fact, they provide over 100% of your daily value of vitamin C in one serving!
- Radish: I love adding radishes when I want more of a crunch!
- Avocado: Avocados provide plenty of heart-healthy fats and a creamy touch to the salad.
- Dill: I love using dill in salads, but feel free to top with whatever herb you have handy.
- Lemon dijon dressing: I love the addition of this tangy lemon dijon dressing – it completes the salad!
This salad combines all my favorite summer produce in one punch. It is sweet, tangy, crunchy, and creamy, and super refreshing! What are your favorite fruits and veggies in the summer? Tell me in the comments below!
