Avocado, Tomato & Sweet Onion Salad  

Note from Cheri:
I came up with this recipe for a picnic lunchwith my good friends, the late Bob Carter (former editor of Fabulous Foods' Camper's Corner) and Terry Poland.

While it's very simple, sometimes simplicity is best as the flavors marry perfectly.

1 lg or 2 med. avocados
juice of 1/2 lemon (about 2 tsp.)
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1/4 med. sized sweet onion (such as Vidalia or Maui)
3 T rice vinegar
1 T olive oil
kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste

3-4 large lettuce leaves

Serves 3-4

Peel avocado and remove pit. Cut avocado into 1 inch chunks and sprinkle with lemon juice. Wash tomatoes, cut each in half and add to bowl with the avocado. Slice the onion very thin and add to the bowl. Sprinkle vinegar over the vegetables, season with salt and pepper (preferbly kosher salt and coarsely ground pepper, but use what you have). Drizzle oil the mixture and gently stir until all ingredients are well combined. Serve on a lettuce leaf, if desired.
