Mix contents together in a glass bowl (preferably).
Chop your avocados up last and mix them in well.
The Lime juice, salt, and oil or salad dressing help to preserve the salad. If you leave out the oil or salad dressing, you also remove 9 calories & 1 g fat per serving. However, if you do so, add more lime juice to help keep the avacados from turning brown from air exposure. If they do begin to turn a bit brown, simply add a splash of lime and mix, and it will brighten again.
Cover the mix tightly with saran (keep it close to the surface of the salad to maintain brightness), refridgerate, and let stand for 1-4 hours .
