Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are essential for this salad as they provide a creamy and rich texture. Look for avocados that are slightly soft when gently pressed and have a deep, dark green color.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife is important for slicing the avocado and onion thinly and evenly. This will help to ensure that the salad is visually appealing and that the flavors blend well together.
- Don't overdress the salad: The dressing for this salad is light and refreshing, so it's important not to overdo it. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The avocado will start to brown over time, so it's important to enjoy it while it's fresh.
