Notes
- Storage: For the best flavor and texture, this salad is best enjoyed fresh. Leafy greens like spinach and lettuce can wilt quickly, and avocados tend to brown.
- Make ahead: If you want to prep ahead, rinse all your veggies thoroughly and dry them well. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
- Use fresh ingredients: Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best texture and flavor. Wash and dry the greens well before assembling.
- Dress just before serving: To keep the salad crisp, drizzle the dressing right before serving, not too far in advance.
- Slice veggies evenly: Cutting the veggies into similar-sized pieces will help ensure an even distribution of flavors and textures.
- Customize to taste: Adjust the amount of vinegar or olive oil in the dressing to suit your taste.
- Use ripe avocado: Make sure your avocado is ripe for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Toss gently: Be gentle when tossing to keep the avocado intact and prevent wilting the greens.
