Tips:

- For extra flavor, let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the ingredients to meld together beautifully.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette.

- Feel free to add more fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro for an additional layer of flavor.

- To keep the avocado from browning, consider adding it right before serving.

- For added crunch, top the salad with some toasted nuts or seeds.
