Notes
– For extra crunch, chill the vegetables before assembling.
– Substitute lime juice for a tropical twist.
– Add grilled corn, black beans, or olives for variation.
– Best served fresh, but can be stored up to 1 day in the fridge without avocado.
– Vegan option: use plant-based feta or skip the cheese.
