1 small sweet white onion, finely chopped.

1 small very ripe avocado, diced.

3 to 6 oz of Brianna’s Home Style New American (creamy balsamic vinaigrette) Dressing (www.BriannasSaladDressing.com) *please note: this dressing is made with xanthan gum, a derivative of corn. Highly sensitive people should substitute with another dressing, or perhaps a homemade one.
