💡 Notes & Tips

  • You may use cherry tomatoes instead.
  • English or Persian cucumbers work great.
  • The honey can be optional. Honey and agave taste great as alternatives to sugar.
  • Place leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for two days. The avocados will change color slightly.
  • Add avocados right before serving to avoid browning.
