Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the sliced onion to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves roughly and add them to the salad bowl.
Roll the lemon on the counter under your palm to release the juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the salad ingredients.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocados.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
