How to Make Avocado Jalapeno Salad

  1. Arrange thinly sliced avocados artfully on a serving platter or individual plates.

  3. Season generously with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
