AVOCADO AND ONION SALAD



Avocado and Onion Salad image

Lovely, simple recipe from www.avocadosalad.com; I haven't tried it yet, but I can just imagine how wonderful it will be next summer with homegrown tomatoes! Mmmmmm.... Also, while the salad says to toss the salad components and dressing, the picture shown was of a beautiful salad constructed of layers. So I'm modifying the instructions to make it as shown. If you're short on time or patience, just gently toss it all together, season with salt & pepper, and dish up. Times are estimates.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the avocado: A sharp knife will help you make clean, even cuts and prevent the avocado from getting bruised.
  • Remove the avocado pit safely: To remove the pit, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the two halves in opposite directions. The pit will pop out easily.
  • Slice the avocado thinly: Thinly sliced avocado will help the flavors of the other ingredients in the salad to shine through.
  • Use a variety of sweeteners: This recipe calls for both honey and maple syrup, but you can use any type of sweetener that you like. Agave nectar, brown sugar, or even stevia would all be good options.
  • Add some crunch: To add some crunch to the salad, you can add chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons.
  • Serve immediately: Avocado salad is best served immediately after it is made. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This avocado and sweet onion salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy avocado, sweet onion, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
