Notes
Avocados: To prevent the avocado from browning, you can toss it with a bit of lemon juice before adding it to the salad. This salad is best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a day. The avocado may brown slightly, but the salad will still be delicious.
Toasting Almonds: To toast the sliced almonds, toss them in a teaspoon of melted butter and sprinkle with a dash of salt. Then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
