💡 Pro Tips

To prevent the avocado from browning, sprinkle a pinch of salt over it and squeeze a squeeze of lime juice. To toast the cumin and coriander powders, dry-roast them in a small pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
