- Adjust the amount of jalapeño and jalapeño brine based on your desired spice level.
- This salad is best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with vegan alternatives and omit the feta or use a plant-based cheese.
- Lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the avocado from browning quickly.
