- Avocado Handling: Add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning. If you’re preparing the salad ahead, keep the diced avocado in lemon juice and add it last.
- Customizing Flavors: Feel free to add crumbled feta or mozzarella for extra creaminess, or throw in some greens like spinach or arugula for more texture.
- Chill for Freshness: Chill the salad for 20 minutes before serving if you prefer a cooler bite, perfect for summer meals.
