Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Make sure to use ripe avocados for a creamy texture.

Recipe Variations

  • Top with roasted nuts or seeds for added protein and texture.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The salad may become soggy if dressed too early, so it's best to add the dressing just before serving.
