Sophie's Quick Pickle Salad

Salad with Pickled Red Onion, Cucumber, and Avocado 

Ingredients:

1-2 lemons 

1/2 red onion, cut in half and then sliced thinly

Salad greens, preferably deep green leafy variety

1 cucumber, peeled and sliced

1 avocado sliced 

Dress with olive oil and lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: grated parmesan cheese and additional beloved vegetables 

Directions:

Toss the thinly sliced onions in lemon juice and squeeze the onions lightly.  The citrus from the onions will make a quickly pickle the red onions transforming them from crunch and bitter into soft and sweet.  Proceed with making a salad per usual tossing the greens in oil, salt, and pepper and then topping the dressed greens with the picked onions, sliced cucumber and avocado, and any additional squirt of lemon juice your heart desires.
