Nutrition
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados: Slightly firm avocados hold their shape better when tossed.
- Cut evenly: Uniform pieces help the salad look balanced and ensure every bite has a mix of flavors.
- Dress just before serving: Adding the dressing right before serving keeps the vegetables fresh and prevents excess moisture.
- Toss gently: Use a light hand so the avocado stays chunky and doesn’t become mashed.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve alongside Turkey Burgers, Honey Sriracha Chicken Skewers, or Gazpacho Soup for a fresh, complete meal.
