Fresh Avocado Salad

I love serving this with mexican food because it isn't your normal guacamole. It is super easy to make and taste so fresh.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 2  tablespoons  freshly squeezed lime juice, from about 3 limes
• 1⁄4 cup  freshly squeezed lime juice, from about 3 limes
• 2  teaspoons sugar
•  coarse salt
• 1  jalapeno chile, chopped (seeds and ribs removed, if desired)
• 1  cup  lightly packed cilantro leaf
• 1⁄2 cup olive oil
• 4  avocados, about 8 ounces each, thinly sliced

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine onion with 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt; toss to combine. Let lime-marinated onion sit at room temperature until it softens and brightens in color, about 1 hour (up to 1 day, covered and refrigerated).
2. Make dressing: In a blender, combine remaining 1/4 cup lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar; season generously with salt. Blend until smooth. With the motor running, add oil in a steady stream through the feeder opening until incorporated.
3. Just before serving, slice avocados; arrange on a serving plate. Top with onion; drizzle with dressing.
