Add the finely diced celery, red bell pepper, red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the seafood.
Gently fold in the diced avocado and chopped fresh parsley, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until evenly coated.
Refrigerate the salad for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
