For any grilled meat or seafood, this is a fantastic side dish. The grilling process brings out a creamy, exquisite flavor in the onions’ sweetness. The skin of cipollini onions is as thin as paper. Some folks favor leaving it on while they cook.

Reviews
Good basis for a delicious, colorful summer salad. I did add some ingredients suggested by other reviewers… good olive oil (just a little), english cucumbers and salted pumkin seeds. Huge hit! Will make it again. Thank you for a great salad!
very goo
Took advantage of Costco’s tiny cocktail shrimp and bags of avocados to pull together this recipe. This really is a recipe you can easily work with which ranks it high with me. My additions; red bell pepper and cucumber were added for color, a little crunch, and to make it more like a side salad than a simple meal. I used a “sweet onion” as directed and used maybe ? of it because of the negative comments pertaining to too much onion. May be personal taste but I thought the salad could easily handle a full onion. Other additions I would’ve considered if had on hand or in garden include cilantro, dill, fennel, yellow tomatoe, radish, Artichoke hearts, green olives, another size of shrimp or just more shrimp. Thank you for sharing wonderful recipe.
I added grilled chicken breast and corn and it is delicious!
Low carb too!
Skipped the onion and added 3x more lime juice than called for, it was delicious! Simple, healthy, tasty – what’s not to like?
My husband loved this! As some suggested, I added chopped cucumber, a little olive oil, cilantro, green onion (because I didn’t have red), some crushed pepper and feta cheese. Delicious!
Awesome! Could serve multiple ways – as a sandwich filling or in a martini glass with artisan crackers. I left it chunky using jumbo shrimp.
It was okay but needed something. Sautéing was a mistake. It killed the onion and disguised the lime juice. My wife liked it but she’s an avocado freak. I tried a lime juice and white wine mix as a dressing on the leftovers and that WORKED. I will make it again with two tablespoons each of the juice and wine as a dressing sprinkled on just before tossing things.
Just like the recipe and it was delicios
Love, love, love. Even saved the avocado shells and served this in them. Added some chopped cucumber for texture. Wonderful.
I really enjoyed it. I added cilantro to the dish and it works well together
was ok…tasted like it was missing something.
I made this exactly as suggested. We loved it. It made more than four servings, and it held up for lunch the next day. One of our guests asked for hot sauce. He is a fussy eater, buthereally liked it.
Everyone LOVED this! Making it again for sure!
Very easy and perfect for a summer evening salad. Added English cucumber.
I prepared this according to the recipe and found it simple and delicious!
We really enjoyed this dish. As suggested by other reviewers I added a few more ingredients. I added corn and cucumbers and instead of just squeezing lime, I added some olive oil and hot sauce. I will be making it often. This is a wonderful summer dish.
Terrific salad. Easy, refreshing, healthy.
I made this recipe exactly as written. Everyone loved it. Simple to make. Allow plenty of time for the flavors to meld. I made it the day before it was to be served.
I added chopped cilantro and subbed red onion for sweet. I served over chopped romain. Very good.
