The inspiration for this salad came to me one morning when I was trying to think of a healthy and satisfying breakfast that I could make quickly and easily. I had some leftover avocado in the fridge, and I thought it would be a great way to add some creaminess and healthy fats to my breakfast. I also had some red onion, cilantro, feta cheese, and pumpkin seeds on hand, so I decided to add those to the salad as well. The result was a delicious and refreshing salad that was packed with flavor and nutrients.
