Recipe tips

Use good-quality ripe avocado – It should be slightly soft when gently pressed but not mushy. Avocado should not smell weird.
Choose cherry or grape tomatoes – They are sweeter and perfect for salads.
Customize the dressing to your taste – Add more lemon juice for extra tang, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat. You can also omit the ginger, if necessary.
Toppings – add Feta cheese, Parmesan, crispy bacon, or nuts of seeds for added texture and flavor.
Pair with proteins – Serve alongside grilled chicken, beef, shrimp, or fish for a complete meal.
