Chef tips
To keep the avocado fresh and prevent it from browning, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over it immediately after slicing. If you're searing the salmon, be careful not to overcook it—about four minutes per side is all you need for a juicy, tender result. The kids can help out by washing the lettuce and tearing the leaves by hand for a fun family activity. For a boost of nutrition and crunch, try adding some toasted walnuts or slivered almonds just before serving.
