💡 Chef tips
- To prevent avocados from browning, toss them in the lime juice mixture immediately after cutting.
- This salad is best served fresh on the day it is made and does not store well for leftovers due to the avocado.
- Add crumbled feta or fresh mozzarella cheese for a rich and creamy variation.
✅ How it should turn out
