Edamame and Avocado Salad with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

This is such an easy salad that is perfect to make a few days ahead and enjoy all week, or pack in lunch boxes. Even the avocado keeps well in the fridge after a few days.

Don’t be afraid of the abundance of red onions because they lose a lot of their stinky-ness in the lime juice which pickles them a little.

Lots of protein, not a lot of ingredients.

Simple summer, healthy food. Enjoy!
