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:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, with a slightly soft texture when gently pressed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
- Use red onion for a milder flavor: Red onions have a milder flavor than yellow or white onions, making them ideal for salads. If you prefer a stronger onion flavor, you can use a different type of onion.
- Slice the onion thinly: Thinly slicing the onion will help it blend well with the other ingredients in the salad.
- Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't have the same flavor.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice: Lime juice adds a refreshing tartness to the salad. You can also use lemon juice, but lime juice is the traditional choice.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.
Conclusion:
Avocado onion salad is a simple but flavorful side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It's also a great way to use up leftover avocado. With its creamy avocado, tangy red onion, and fresh cilantro, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
