For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely minced jalapeño for a touch of heat. If you don't have fresh lime juice, bottled lime juice can be used as a substitute, but the flavor won't be quite as bright. To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lime juice immediately after dicing. This salad is best served chilled. If you're making it ahead of time, wait to add the avocado until just before serving to prevent it from becoming mushy. Consider serving with tortilla chips or toasted baguette slices.
