- Don't overmix: When tossing the salad, be gentle to avoid smashing the avocado or breaking up the tomatoes.
- Add protein: To make the salad a complete meal, you can add protein sources such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Season well: Don't be afraid to season the salad with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to enhance the flavor.
