  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed; feel free to add more lime juice or salt to suit your palate.
  5. For a creamy twist, gently fold in the diced avocado just before serving.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with your favorite herbs or add diced cucumber for an extra crunch.
If you're looking for a sweeter note, consider drizzling a bit of honey over the salad.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a day.
For easy reheating, just give it a gentle toss and add a tad more lime juice if the flavors have dulled.
Enjoy crafting this delightful dish!
