Notes
- Adding toasted nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds enhances texture and flavor.
- For sweetness or spice, consider candied rosemary walnuts or cinnamon-spiced almonds.
- If allergic to nuts, substitute seeds such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- Fresh fruit like apples or mandarins can be added alongside avocado for extra freshness.
- Spicy versions can include chopped green chilies, jalapeños, or chili flakes.
- To create an Asian-style flavor, add sesame oil and garnish with sesame seeds; swap lime juice with peanut sauce or tahini dressing if preferred.
