Helpful Tips and Variations
If you are new to cooking, consider prepping your ingredients in advance. This way, assembling the bowls will be much quicker and easier.
For a different flavor profile, you can add a sprinkling of sesame seeds or a dash of soy sauce.
For a vegetarian option, replace the smoked salmon with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. The avocados may brown, so consider adding them fresh before serving.
Pairings
This dish pairs beautifully with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, a light white wine, or sparkling water with a splash of lime.
For a heartier meal, serve it with a side of whole grain bread or a refreshing mixed green salad.
