  3. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss together.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, though it's best enjoyed fresh.
  • Tip 2: This salad is not ideal for freezing due to the texture of the avocado after thawing.
  • Tip 3: This salad is delicious with grilled meats, fish, or as a light lunch on its own.
  • Tip 4: If you like it spicier, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños.
  • Tip 5: For a beautiful presentation, serve in a clear bowl to showcase the vibrant colors of the salad.
