Notes
1 If you have time, store in refrigerator for a half hour to chill and to let the onions and tomatoes marinate in the juices.
2 The shelf life of a peeled avocado is not very good, so make sure you finish the salad in a day or so.
3 If available, use cherry or grape tomatoes. They add to the color and hold up better in salads.
