Notes

For Vegan Avocado Salad skip honey and add other sweetener as mentioned in ingredient list.
Use any of the fresh herbs as mentioned in the ingredient list.
Add  any source of protein like chickpeas, black/red beans, mango, for variations .
Make a mini meal bowl with quinoa and beans.
You can also try Indian Chaat masala in dressing for flavour variation. 
Refrigerate the leftovers and  finish by the next day.
Do not make it ahead of parties or lunch, add dressing and keep it refrigerated in an airtight container or salad bowl covered with cling film. This will help in avoiding the browning of cut avocado.
