Ina Garten Guacamole Salad

Ina Garten Guacamole Salad

This salad keeps everything chunky and fresh. Instead of blending or mashing, the ingredients are gently tossed so each one keeps its identity. Lime juice adds brightness, olive oil rounds things out, and herbs bring a fresh finish. The texture stays lively from start to finish.
