This salad is so good alongside anything grilled. Its dressing has a healthy kick from jalapenos, but the creamy avocado and sweet onion work to balance it out.
Squeeze 1/4 cup of juice from the limes. Place the lime juice, peppers, olive oil, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste in a blender. Puree until smooth. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Slice the onion in half through the stem and slice thinly crosswise. Cut avocados in half, remove pits, then slice in half again lengthwise. Peel and slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Arrange the avocado, onion, and cilantro on a serving platter. Drizzle the dressing on top, and serve.
