In celebration of Walmart Wellness Day taking place on Saturday, July 21, Avocados from Peru and California Walnuts have partnered on a unique joint collaboration to launch a massive, integrated one-day retail program, including in-store culinary demonstrations and sampling.
Walmart Wellness Day is considered one of the world’s largest one-day health fairs and will take place simultaneously in nearly 1,900 stores in the U.S. on July 21. Additionally, Avocados from Peru and California Walnuts are the only produce items that will be featured in the upcoming Walmart Wellness Day, an honor for these two important superfoods.
Each location will host in-store demonstrations showing customers how easy it is to create an Avocado and Walnuts Superfood Salad, made with chopped California Walnuts, Avocados from Peru, Marketside Organic Arugula and Spinach Mix, Great Value Italian House Dressing & Marinade, Great Value Finely Shredded Parmesan Cheese and fresh peaches.
For those looking for easy ways to replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats this summer, walnuts and avocados are two nutrient-rich good fat foods that pair perfectly together. Walnuts are the only nut that supply a rich source of the plant-based omega-3 ALA (2.5 grams per ounce), while more than 75 percent of the fat in avocados is the “good†unsaturated type (one gram polyunsaturated fat and five grams monounsaturated fat per one-third of a medium avocado). When combined with spinach, peaches, dressing and toppings, these ingredients make for a delicious superfood salad for summer.
