Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, diced

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar)
- 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Instructions
- Thinly slice ½ red onion, then pinch it with your fingers to separate the layers. Soak the onion in cold water for ten minutes to soften its flavor.

- Season the mixture with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar), 1 teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
- Gently toss the salad until it becomes coated in the condiments and achieves a slightly creamy texture from the avocado. Taste, and adjust the salt if necessary before serving.
Notes
Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes after mixing to enhance the flavor.
