Chef Katie’s Tips:
Make Ahead Tip:Â If you’re making this salad ahead of time, combine everything up until the avocado. Â 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.
