For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the red bell pepper before dicing it. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute with fresh mint. To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lime juice before adding it to the salad. This salad is best served immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. After that, the avocado may start to brown. For a vegan option, ensure your hot pepper sauce is vegan-friendly. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preference.
