Can I make this salad ahead of time?

You can make this salad in advance. It will stay fresh in refrigerator in a sealed container up to 2 days.

What can I serve this salad with?

• This salad goes well with almost every dish.
• It would make a great side dish with grilled chicken or fish.
• You can also take it as a light lunch or dinner.

Recipe Notes:

• You can adapt the ingredients to your liking.
• Choose ripe avocados for this salad.
• The pepper can also be adjusted to your preference.
• You can also add boiled chicken and pasta to this salad to make it a perfect and filling meal.

Tip for extracting more juice out of the lemons:

• Before cutting the lemon, microwave it for 25 – 30 seconds. Once it has cooled, cut it and juice as normal. It will require minimum efforts and more juices will be extracted. Believe me microwaving the citrus fruits is a game changer.

Tips for choosing perfectly ripe and creamy avocado:

• Gently squeeze the avocado using the palm of your hand. If avocado is very firm, it is underripe (will take 3 to 4 days to fully ripe). If it gives slightly, it is ripe and ready to consume. And if it feels soft and mushy, it’s overripe, so it is best to avoid it
• Another tip is to peel back the small stem off the avocado, if you can see green underneath, the avocado is ripe. If it does not come off easily, the avocado is not ripe yet and if you see brown or blackish underneath, it is overripe.
