Author Notes
I love raw onions and fresh basil and garlic. The more basil, the better, for me. I had the ingredients and it all fell together because it was what I was craving to eat that day. Now I make it all the time and sometimes I share it with the neighbors. —Julie Barrionuevo
Ingredients
-
1
lg. red onion, thinly sliced
-
3
med. heirloom tomatoes, 1" pieces
-
1/2 cup
finely chopped fresh basil leaves
-
5
raw garlic cloves, crushed
-
1/2 cup
raw apple cider vinegar
-
1/4 cup
olive oil
-
sea salt to taste
-
1-2
med. ripe avocado, cut in sm. cubes
Directions
-
Over a large glass bowl, use a mandolin slicer to cut thin slices of onion.
-
On a cutting board, chop the heirloom tomatoes in approx. 1" pieces. Add to bowl.
-
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add to the bowl.
-
Crush the fresh garlic cloves in a garlic press or with the back of a lg. knife. Add to the bowl.
-
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and the olive oil, mix well. Salt to taste.
-
Dice up the avocado in small pieces so there is plenty to go around/ or use 2 avocados, depending on your preferences. Add this ingredient last because ripe avocados look damaged and mushy if they get stirred to roughly.
-
Serve cold.
