Notes

Tammy's Tips

If you want to give this salad a little extra zing, try replacing the salt and black pepper with 2 teaspoons of chili lime seasoning,it adds a wonderful smoky heat that pairs perfectly with the creamy avocado. For the best flavor, make sure your avocados are perfectly ripe (they should give slightly when gently pressed) and serve the salad fresh to keep that beautiful bright green color!
