Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that feel slightly soft when pressed.
  • Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Dry the greens thoroughly so the dressing coats them evenly.
  • Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or dill add extra brightness.
  • Seeds or toasted nuts can add extra crunch and nutrition.
  • Store undressed salad in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
