- Make Ahead:
- Dressing: The dressing can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Salad Ingredients: Assemble all the ingredients except the avocado and store them separately in the refrigerator. Add avocado just before serving to keep it fresh.
- Leftovers: Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Note that the avocado may slightly brown but will still taste delicious. Freezing is not recommended.
