Looking for a healthy + easy + vegetarian side dish? You have come to the right place. Today, I introduce you to one of my go-to salads. The perfectly yummy Avocado Salad! A few simple ingredients, one bowl, and 7 minutes, that is all you need. Let’s go!
Tara’s Tips for a Avocado Perfect Salad
- Buy the avocados soft OR plan ahead to make your avocado salad after they have softened.
- To speed up the avocado softening process, place them in a brown paper bag
- How do you choose the best avocado? A perfectly ripe avocado for this avocado salad is purple-brown in color and gives a little when you press it.
- Use fresh cilantro if you have it available.
- Taste and squeeze the lemon and lime juice and the salt until you achieve your perfect blend of sour and salty.
- I prefer to use cherry tomatoes for this salad, but plum tomatoes will also do.
- If you have leftovers, put leftovers in an airtight glass container with the avocado pit and an extra teaspoon of lemon juice.Β This will prevent the avocado from browning.
