Notes

  • This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day in the fridge. Keep the avocado from browning by covering the salad tightly.
  • For a variation, you can add a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess or sprinkle with some sunflower seeds or nuts for crunch.
  • If you want to make it a full meal, serve it with some whole-grain crackers or over a bed of greens.
