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.

AVOCADO WITH GRAPEFRUIT AND SWEET-ONION SALSA



Avocado with Grapefruit and Sweet-Onion Salsa image

Piled high with a simple-yet-flavorful salad of grapefruit, sweet onion, and cilantro, avocado halves become the most delicious edible bowl in your kitchen.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pink grapefruits
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Coarse salt
2 avocados, cut in half, pitted and peeled

Steps:

  • Cut off both ends of grapefruits, and remove the peel, pith, and outer membranes, following the curve of the fruit with a paring knife. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, use the knife to carefully slice between the sections and membranes of each grapefruit to remove the segments. Slice each grapefruit segment into small pieces, and set aside.
  • Place onion in a small bowl. Squeeze remaining juice from grapefruit membranes over onions, and let stand 20 minutes to soften. Pour off and discard juice, and add grapefruit segments and cilantro. Add enough reserved grapefruit juice to moisten. Season with salt. To serve, place 3 to 4 tablespoons on each of the avocado halves.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or almost black in color, with a slight give when you press them gently. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too soft.
  • Use a sharp knife: This will help you make clean, even slices of avocado and onion.
  • Don't overmix the salad: Overmixing can make the avocado mushy. Gently toss the salad until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Serve immediately: Avocado salad is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Avocado and sweet onion salad is a simple, refreshing, and delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of avocados and sweet onions. The salad is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you can add other vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers. You can also add a protein, such as grilled chicken or shrimp. No matter how you serve it, avocado and sweet onion salad is sure to be a hit!
