Avocado is a food that I didn’t used to really care for before marriage. My husband, however, really enjoyed them. It took me what seems like forever to even be able to stomach guacamole. It wasn’t really the taste that got to me – it was the color, and texture. Something about it just struck me as – well, nasty.
Time went on, and I started making guacamole for the Mister here at home. Since I made it myself, I had to taste it. After all, what kind of cook would I be if I didn’t taste my own food? Well, I would be a lot thinner I presume…. 😉
Turns out, I liked guacamole, and I didn’t even have to add food coloring to it to make it a more appetizing color. (Purple guacamole anyone?) Over the years, I have done more & more things with avocados. It is just one of the many things that my husband has swayed my vote on. He says sardines are next on that list, but I have to disagree with that one. (Sorry babe, but EW!)
This simple Avocado & Onion Salad is among my favorite.
Ingredients:
- 3 Avocados
- 1 large sweet onion, or the equivalent (I used 2 small)
- the juice of one lemon
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup coarse ground brown mustard
- 1 heaping tablespoon of honey
Thinly slice the avocados & onion, and place in a bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, coarse ground brown mustard, & honey. Pour on top of the avocados & onion, and gently toss to combine.

Hi Crystal!!! So nice to see you! I finally sent you your cookbook and I hope you have either gotten it or will get it in the next week. I apologize so much for not sending it earlier! I adore this recipe. I really love the creaminess of avocado, and I like how in this salad, they are left in whole slices but still a little of the creaminess rubs off on the onions! Very cool. Thanks so much for sharing on the hearth and soul hop! All the best, Alex
Wow, I never would have thought of this combination! I’m definitely tucking this away to share with my sister-in-law the next time she comes for lunch.
Fabulous idea!! I love avocado and am ALWAYS looking for new ways to try it.
Wanted to invite you to share this recipe at a weekly event I host titled Seasonal Sundays. (it fits the theme perfectly)
Happy Sunday!

Yum! I crave avocados!
I adore avocados and this looks like a fun way to highlight them. I’m with your husband – sardines have to be next!
