Notes

Detailed Notes

• Dressing Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, add a bit more orange juice to thin it out.
• Avocado Freshness: To keep the avocado from browning, toss it with lemon juice before adding it to the salad.
• Presentation: For a more elegant presentation, you can layer the ingredients rather than tossing them.
