Avocado and Onion Salad

This looks like it is going to be a lame recipe. Avocado and onions. I must say that I was underwhelmed just hearing about the salad without even trying it. And this is the lesson to be learned…Within it’s simplicity a complexity of flavors so damn good, you’ll question yourself why were you questioning the recipe in the first place. The white onion gives a slight bite to the avocado while the acidity of the red wine vinegar cuts through the richness.
The key is to use a ripe, but still firm avocado. If it’s too ripe, the salad will be mushy. Slice the avocado. Top with the thinly sliced white onion. Drizzle with the olive oil and red wine vinegar. A pinch of salt. Cracked black pepper. Barely 5 minutes of work. When eating the salad, make sure that there is a piece of onion with every bite of avocado.
