Can I use a different type of mustard if I don't have mustard seed preserve?

While mustard seed preserve offers a unique texture and tang, you could substitute with a good quality Dijon mustard, adjusting the amount to taste for a similar profile.

How should I store leftover Basil Mustard Salad?

This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day, but be aware the avocado may brown slightly.

What's the best way to prepare the basil for this salad?

Simply pick the fresh basil leaves off their stems and add them directly to the bowl. No need to chop them unless they are exceptionally large.

Can I add other vegetables to this salad?

Absolutely! While the recipe focuses on basil, avocado, and tomato, you could enhance it with thinly sliced cucumber, bell peppers, or even some leafy greens for added texture and nutrients.

Is this Basil Mustard Salad suitable for a packed lunch?

It can be, but it's best to add the avocado just before eating to prevent browning. You can pre-chop the basil and tomato and pack the mustard separately to mix at lunchtime.
