- When selecting the avocado, make sure it is ripe by gently pressing it; it should give slightly but not be too soft.
- For the salsa, choose one that is not too spicy to ensure that the omelet is not too hot.
- Substitute 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt for the cheese - Greek yogurt is a healthier alternative to cheese and still provides a creamy texture and flavor.
- Substitute 2 tablespoons of diced bell pepper for the salsa - Bell pepper adds a nice crunch and a variety of colors to the omelet, plus it adds a boost of vitamins and minerals.
