For the dressing
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

- Make the lemony dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, maple syrup or honey, kosher salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Notes
This salad is quite hardy and can easily be made a day or so ahead of time.Â
This salad should keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, though the texture will be best if eaten within 1-2 days. If making ahead of time, I would wait to add the avocado until just before digging in!
