Notes

Toss the onions with the dressing first and let marinate 20 minutes to boost flavor
Leave the skin on so that the salad holds its shape. This also prevents the avocado from browning so quickly
If you have fresh herbs available use them, but don’t fret, the salad is still great with dried herbs
Add sliced or cherry tomatoes for a twist. Canned tuna or chicken chunks are a good protein add.
These could also be served as an appetizer
