Tips & Notes

  • To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with lime juice immediately after dicing.
  • For a spicier salad, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
  • This salad is best served fresh, as the avocado can become mushy if stored for too long.

Recipe Variations

  • Try adding different herbs for variety.
  • Substitute ingredients based on dietary needs.
