Chef's Tips
- Ripe Avocados: Use avocados that are slightly soft to the touch for the best creaminess.
- Extra Crunch: Add toasted nuts or seeds like almonds or sunflower seeds for added texture.
- Protein Boost: Top with grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier meal.
- Citrus Twist: Substitute lime with lemon or orange juice for a different flavor profile.
- Storage Tip: If preparing ahead, add the avocado and dressing just before serving to prevent browning.
