Chef's Tips

Substitute canned sliced beets for the tomatoes, if you’d like.

Leftovers make a fabulous lunch the next day- make sure you squeeze some lemon over the avocado so it doesn’t discolour.

For this salad, presentation is key: pull out your most beautiful platter and make nice neat lines of the ingredients.
