Kitchen tip:
Once an avocado is sliced, its cut surfaces darken quickly. To keep avocado slices bright green, cut them just before serving. Or, cover the avocado slices in water to which you have added the juice of one fresh lime or lemon. Drain just before serving.

Storage tip:
Keep the remaining taco seasoning mix to use in tacos, chili or on top of a Mexican style pizza. Press the air from the package, fold down the top and place in a small resealable plastic bag. Store in a cool place.

Make it special:
Assemble the salads in bright, sturdy earthenware bowls. Just before serving, crumble crisp corn chips over the salads.
