Avocado and Onion Salad

Lovely, simple recipe from www.avocadosalad.com; I haven't tried it yet, but I can just imagine how wonderful it will be next summer with homegrown tomatoes! Mmmmmm.... Also, while the salad says to toss the salad components and dressing, the picture shown was of a beautiful salad constructed of layers. So I'm modifying the instructions to make it as shown. If you're short on time or patience, just gently toss it all together, season with salt & pepper, and dish up. Times are estimates.
