For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. If you don't have fresh cilantro, dried cilantro can be substituted, but fresh is highly recommended for the best flavor. To prevent browning, toss the diced avocado with lime juice immediately after chopping. This salad is best consumed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
