Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh, ripe avocados here; they’re the star of the show! If avocados are out of season or too pricey, you can use chickpeas for a different texture and added protein. Also, feel free to swap out the cilantro for parsley if that's more your style.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to use a gentle hand when tossing the salad to keep the avocado chunks intact and creamy.
- •If you want a little extra kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes adds a lovely warmth.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I add a handful of corn for sweetness and crunch.
- •For a heartier version, you can mix in some cooked quinoa or black beans.
Storage & Freezing
This salad is best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Just be aware that the avocados might brown slightly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this salad ahead of time?
While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can prep all the ingredients and keep them separate in the fridge. Just combine them and dress the salad right before serving to keep the avocados from browning.
