  • Choose the right avocado: Look for avocados that are ripe but not too soft. They should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Prepare the broccoli correctly: For best results, blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve its鮮豔的綠色.
  • Add some crunch: To add a bit of texture and flavor to the salad, consider adding some chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons.
  • Make it a meal: This salad can easily be turned into a main course by adding some grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
  • Dress it up: A simple vinaigrette is a great way to dress this salad. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to taste it first to make sure it's not too sweet or too oily.
