Notes
*In place of slivered almonds, use walnuts or pecans (raw or toasted). Even toasted sunflower seeds would be great.
**For variation, try dressing the salad with this healthy Flax & Evo Balsamic Vinaigrette.
To reduce the intensity of raw red onion, try ‘deflaming’ them by soaking the slices in cool or warm water for 10 minutes before using.
I like to ‘arrange’ my salads instead of tossing the ingredients together, but f you prefer each bite to be more random than tossing is for you, making the yummy ingredients hidden throughout.
Making for a crowd? When feeding a crowd you’ll most likely want to toss the salad before setting it on the table. If so, cut the onion into 1 1/2 inch thin slices and dice the avocado into 1/2 – 3/4 inch pieces. You may consider having a bowl of the coconut bacon on the side so your guests can optionally top their salad if they like.
