- To prevent the avocado from browning, you can toss it with a little lemon juice before adding it to the salad.
- Adjust the amount of dressing to your preference. If you like a more heavily dressed salad, you can add a bit more poppy seed dressing.
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to the salad before tossing.
