- Mix gently – Fold ingredients lightly to keep avocado chunks intact.
- Experiment with add-ins – Try corn, boiled eggs, chickpeas, or cucumber for variety.
- Serve in creative ways – Enjoy on toast, in lettuce wraps, or stuffed in pita bread for a portable meal.
- For extra freshness – Chill the salad for 10–15 minutes before serving, especially on warm days.
