Tips:
Avocado: To prevent the avocado from browning, you can toss it with a little lemon juice before adding it to the salad.
Make Ahead: If making ahead, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to prevent the pasta and lettuce from becoming soggy.
Crunch Factor: For extra crunch, consider adding a handful of toasted nuts or croutons right before serving.
Variations:
Chicken: Add grilled or rotisserie chicken for a heartier meal.
Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added flavor.
Spicy: Add a dash of red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the dressing for a bit of heat.
