Notes
- Tossing the avocado with lemon juice keeps it from turning brown and adds flavor. Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
- White onion can be used in place of red onion. Yellow onions are too harsh in this salad and not recommended.
- Soak the onions in a bit of ice water to take a little bit of the "bite" out (and make it milder). Optional of course!
- Depending on the size of your cucumbers and avocados, you may not need all of the dressing. Leftovers are great add over a tossed salad.
- If you'd like to prepare this ahead of time or keep leftovers, prepare all of the ingredients except the avocado. Add the avocado at the time of serving.
