SIMPLE AVOCADO AND ONION SALAD

Provided by Susie D.

Time 15m
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- 1. Arrange the slices on avocado on a platter. I prefer to fan them out as I like it looks pretty. Top with the paper thin slices of red onion.
- 2. Drizzle with the red wine vinegar and olive oil. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- 3. Serve immediately so the avocados remain green.
Tips:
- Select ripe avocados: Choose avocados that are slightly soft when gently pressed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have dark spots, as they may be underripe or spoiled.
- Use red onion for a milder flavor: If you prefer a milder onion flavor, use red onion instead of yellow or white onion.
- Chop the onion finely: Finely chopping the onion will help to distribute its flavor evenly throughout the salad.
- Use fresh cilantro or parsley: Fresh herbs add a bright, flavorful touch to the salad. If you don't have cilantro or parsley on hand, you can substitute another fresh herb, such as basil or mint.
- Season to taste: Adjust the amount of salt, pepper, and lime juice to your personal preference. Taste the salad before serving and add more seasoning if needed.
- Serve immediately: Avocado salad is best enjoyed fresh. The avocado will start to brown after it is cut, so it's best to serve the salad immediately after it is made.
Conclusion:
Avocado onion salad is a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or a side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With its creamy avocado, crunchy onion, and tangy lime dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit. Remember, to achieve the best results, use ripe avocados, finely chop the onion, use fresh herbs, and season to taste. Enjoy this delicious and nutritious salad as part of a balanced meal.
