Chef Katie’s Tips:
Make Ahead Tip: If you’re making this salad ahead of time, combine everything up until the avocado. Pit and dice the avocado only within an hour of serving, to prevent browning.
Citric Acid? Another way to prevent browning is to add a dash of Citric Acid. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid to the salad will also help prevent the avocado from turning brown. The acid helps prevent the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown.
