Don't get me wrong, I love a good salad, but sometimes the same old greens and veggies can get a bit boring.

This salad has become a staple in the test kitchen and for good reason. It's packed with flavor, texture, and nutrients. And let's be honest, anything with avocado is automatically delicious, right?

It's the perfect canvas for a healthy, tasty meal that doesn't feel like a chore. So, let's dive into the recipe and shake up our salad game!
