Notes
- Leftover salad dressing and undressed salad ingredients will keep for 3 to 4 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
- Dressed salad does not keep well and will begin to wilt within a day.
- To make ahead, store dressing and salad ingredients separately and slice your avocado just before serving to avoid browning.
