Are you thinking about upping your magnesium intake after reading yesterday's post about strong bones? If so, here's a snack, right from the pages of HEAL magazine, that you might try. It contains a recommended magnesium component: Avocado. Even if you're not so concerned with magnesium but just want a tasty treat, give this recipe a try.

Avocado & Corn Salsa


3/4 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup quartered grape tomatoes
1 medium avocado, diced,
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (or not)

Toss all these ingredients together in a medium bowl, serve with tortilla chips, and there you have it. Rest assured, each of the eight 1/4 cup servings in this dish won't break your health bank with their 50 calories, 3 g fat, 5 g carbohydrates, and 37 mg sodium.
