Notes
- This salad is best served fresh as avocado tends to brown if left too long.
- You can substitute fresh oregano for dried if available for more vibrant flavor.
- Feel free to add cherry tomatoes or cucumber for additional texture and color.
- Use firm, ripe avocado to maintain chunks in the salad.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
