PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

7 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use a ripe but firm avocado so it holds its shape when tossed.
2
Salt the tomatoes 5 minutes before assembling to draw out extra moisture.
3
Slice the cucumber into half-moons for a more uniform bite with each forkful.
4
Taste the dressing before pouring; add a pinch of sugar if the lemon is too tart.
5
Assemble just before serving — the avocado will brown if left too long.
6
For a milder onion bite, soak red onion slices in cold water for 10 minutes.
7
Store leftovers in an airtight container with a squeeze of extra lemon to slow browning.
