1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, gently combine diced avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and basil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat without mashing the avocado.

Add cucumber or bell peppers for extra crunch.
