Can I make this salad in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the salad in advance, but it's best to wait to add the avocado until just before serving to prevent it from browning.
What can I substitute for red onion?
If you don't have red onion, you can use green onions or shallots for a milder flavor.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The avocado will brown a bit, but it still tastes fine.
Is there a way to make this salad spicier?
Absolutely! You can add more red pepper flakes or even some diced jalapeños for an extra kick.
What are some good additions to this salad?
Try adding feta cheese, diced bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor and texture!
