Feel free to add, delete or modify any of the ingredients mentioned above.

Notes
This salad is open to all kinds of modifications. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, nuts and/or cheese.If adding avocado, add it to the bowl first and then add the rest of the salad ingredients. This will help prevent the avocado from discoloring too quickly.Don't refrigerate tomatoes (unless you've cut a few slices from a big one but still have some tomato left. In that case, cover it with plastic wrap and put in the fridge). Keep tomatoes on your countertop.I use my Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette for this salad but feel free to use your favorite dressing.
