  • This salad is best served fresh, but you can store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep the avocado and dressing separate until ready to enjoy.
  • How fresh your ingredients are will really make this dish shine. Try using homegrown/farmers market basil, ripe cherry or heirloom tomatoes, etc if you have access!
