Notes

    • Corn Chips: Get the regular small ones – the scoop kind are a little big for this salad. But if that’s all you can find, just crunch them up a little before adding them.

    • Avocado: These are notorious for being super hard when you buy them (you can find them in the produce section of your supermarket) so I always try and get mine a few days ahead to give it time to soften up. You can also swap out the avocado for guacamole, either the already prepared kind, or you can make your own – here’s my favorite guacamole recipe!
