Notes

How to Store

Transfer the leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. The salad may become slightly watery as it sits, but you can drain off any excess liquid before serving. It's important to keep the avocado separate and add it before serving to prevent it from turning brown. If you're making the salad ahead of time, you can prepare all the ingredients and store them separately, then assemble the salad right before serving. This will help to keep the ingredients fresh and the flavors vibrant. Avoid freezing the salad, as the texture and flavor may be affected.

Make-Ahead

You can prepare all the ingredients, except for the avocado, and store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. When you're ready to serve, combine the ingredients in a large bowl and add the avocado. You can also make the lime vinaigrette dressing and store it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake the jar well before using the dressing. By preparing the ingredients, you can save time and make the salad quickly when you're ready to serve.
