For a more intense flavor, marinate the red onion slices in lemon juice for 10 minutes before adding them to the salad. To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lemon juice immediately after cubing. If you don't have fresh asparagus, frozen asparagus spears can be used. Just thaw them before cooking. Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as oregano or parsley, to customize the flavor of the vinaigrette. This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The avocado may brown slightly over time.

06
StepDress the Salad: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing. (Prep time: 1 minute)
