Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe avocados Make sure your avocados are ripe for the best flavor and texture.

Notes
Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed within one day, as avocados can brown quickly. If not serving right away, keep the avocado and egg mixture separate from any additional ingredients until ready to eat.
