Can You Make Avocado Salad Ahead of Time?
We recommend making this avocado salad just before you plan to serve it, as the avocados will brown slightly over time and the ingredients will become liquidy.

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
“Simple ingredients, and delicious, fresh flavors,” raves Allrecipes Allstar France C. “I normally wouldn't add green pepper, but I did end up enjoying the crunch. Make sure to use a sweet onion, so it doesn't overpower the salad.”
“Delicious as a side with chips to chicken tomatillo enchiladas,” says seburroughs60. “I used jalapeños because that’s the pepper I use. Will continue with this in dinner rotations. Scrumptious!”
“The only change I made was to use juice from a whole lime along with its zest,” according to debs. “Don’t scrimp on the cilantro; it’s what makes the whole salad pop! Try it, you’ll like it!
