Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are deep green or black in color and slightly soft when gently squeezed.
- Prepare the avocados properly: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
- Use fresh pomegranate seeds: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh pomegranate seeds rather than canned or frozen ones.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance, so you can save time on the day you plan to serve it.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made, as the avocados will start to brown after a while.
