Chef’s Insight

To enhance the flavors even more, consider marinating the vegetables in the lemon juice for 20 minutes before tossing them with the rest of the ingredients.

Notes

For best results, use ripe avocado and fresh produce. If you prefer a creamier texture, mash the avocado slightly before adding it to the salad.
