Tofu, tomato and avocado salad FAQ:
The salad is best enjoyed immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The avocado may brown, so consider adding it just before serving if you plan to store leftovers.
If you're looking for a substitute for tofu, consider using chickpeas, edamame, or grilled tempeh for a similar protein boost. Adjust the quantity based on your preference.
A ripe avocado will yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed and should have a dark, almost black skin. If it's hard, it may not be ripe yet.
You can use any vinegar you like, but balsamic, apple cider, or red wine vinegar are great choices as they complement the flavors of the salad well.
Yes, you can definitely add more vegetables! Consider including cucumbers, bell peppers, or red onion for added freshness and flavor.
Cooking Tips:

- Feel free to add other ingredients like cucumbers, red onions, or fresh herbs to customize the salad to your taste.
- Use a high-quality vinegar or try different types (like balsamic or apple cider vinegar) for a unique twist.
- Season the salad just before serving to prevent the vegetables from releasing too much moisture.
