How to Make Avocados With Cilantro Lime Salsa

  1. Finely chop 1/2 cup red onion, 1/2 cup cilantro, 1/4 cup parsley, 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced for less heat), and 2 cloves garlic.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chopped ingredients with 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Cover and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. While the salsa chills, prepare the avocados: Cut 2 ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and thinly slice the avocados.
  5. Arrange the avocado slices on individual plates, slightly overlapping to create a fan effect.
  6. Top the avocado slices with segments from 1/2 orange and thinly sliced red onion (about 1/4 cup).
  7. Spoon the chilled cilantro-lime salsa generously over the avocados and serve immediately. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
