# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Fresh & Vibrant: Combines creamy avocado with sweet strawberries for a refreshing start.
  • Quick to Make: Only takes 10 minutes to prepare from start to finish.

  • Thinly Slice Basil: Slicing the basil into thin ribbons (chiffonade) helps distribute the herbal flavor more evenly.
