Notes
- Best enjoyed right after preparing due to the avocado’s tendency to brown.
- Add a sprinkle of crumbled feta or a dash of chili flakes for a flavor boost.
- Substitute lime juice for lemon if preferred, or use fresh dill for a different herbal note.
- To keep leftovers, store in an airtight container for up to 1 day with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to limit oxidation.
