🌟 Tips for Success

• ✅ Choose ripe but firm avocados and mangoes so they hold their shape after mixing.

• 🌶️ Want it extra spicy? Add a minced fresh chili to the dressing.

• 🥬 No arugula? Try baby spinach, mixed greens, or even shredded cabbage for crunch.

• 🥡 Meal prep tip: Keep the dressing separate if you’re prepping in advance. Toss just before serving to keep everything fresh and vibrant.
