Avocado, tomatoes, arugula and other vegetables, rich in folic acid, can be combined with tofu to make a salad which can be served right away without cooking! Also, it contains vitamins, minerals as well as folic acid.
Arugula is a type of leafy vegetable often used in Italian cuisine for its tangy taste. In addition, it is a good source of iron and calcium.
Avocados turns brown when cut, so cut them just before eating and sprinkle with lemon juice to keep them from browning.
