Notes

  • This recipe serves 4–6 depending on portion size.
  • Best enjoyed fresh due to the avocado, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • To prevent browning, add a little extra lemon juice to the avocado if preparing ahead.
  • Great served on its own, over leafy greens, or in a wrap.
