Notes
Fold in the avocado when serving. If prepping ahead, mix everything together except the avocado. Fold in the avocado when ready to serve to help keep it fresh in the mixture.
Preserving the avocado if it’s already mixed in. To do this, pack the mixture into an airtight container and then cover the top either with a little oil or press some plastic wrap over top to help minimize air flow to the salad. Seal the container and store immediately in the fridge.
For the best flavor, allow your fully mixed salad to sit in the fridge for up to 30 minutes to really develop the flavors and also help mellow out the garlic.
Swap fresh garlic for powdered garlic. If fresh garlic is too much for you to handle, swap the fresh garlic for some garlic powder.
Balance the flavors to your liking. If you need more tang, add more mustard. Use more or less herbs based on your preference. Balance the tangy flavors with a little more sweetness using the maple syrup. Add the amount of oil that is comfortable for you.
