Ingredients
- 1 A ripe Florida or Cuban avocado
- ¼ cup mild flavored olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- ½ Sweet onion thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
- Thinly slice your onion and place it in a bowl. Add to the bowl the olive oil and red wine vinegar and allow the onions to marinade for 5-10 minutes.
- Cut your avocado in half and remove the pit. Slice the avocado into ½ inch slices.
- Arrange the avocado sliced on a platter and top with the prepared onions. Drizzle the olive oil and red wine mixture and sprinkle with salt.
Notes
If you don't have red wine vinegar you can opt for the juice of half a lime.
Looking to add a pop of color, you can use red onions instead of sweet onions.
Florida and Cuban avocados have a slightly longer shelf life than their hass counterparts. A tip to ensure they stay fresh a little longer is by slicing them and leaving the skin on! This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 day.
