Avocado and Red Onion Salad
Serves 4
The onions are lightly pickled here which marries beautifully with the creamy avocado.
½ small red onion, very finely sliced into half-moons
1 tbsp lemon juice, plus 1 level tsp finely grated zest
2 large avocados, halved and pitted
Slice the avocados into long thin strips in the shell. Scoop these out using a spoon then spread over a plate and drizzle over the onion and dressing
- Place the onion in a large bowl, separating the strands, season well with salt, rubbing it into the onion. Add the lemon juice and zest plus 2 tbsp of olive oil. Set aside for 30-60 minutes for the onion to soften.
