For an extra layer of flavor, toast the cashews lightly before chopping. To prevent browning, toss the diced avocado with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice before adding it to the salad. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing. This salad is best enjoyed within 24 hours of preparation to ensure optimal freshness.
