Can tomato avocado salad be made vegan?
Yes! This recipe is almost vegan already, only requiring that you substitute the honey with maple syrup to make it 100% vegan.
-
Cilantro Substitutions:
We highly recommend you use freshly chopped cilantro in this recipe. The flavor juts can’t be beat! If you don’t have access to fresh cilantro, you can always substitute with dried cilantro, parsley, or even basil!

Storage instructions:
You can store Tomato Avocado Salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. However, the avocado will start to brown when exposed to air, and does not mean that they have gone bad.
