This Crunchy Avocado Salad combines fresh greens, creamy avocado, and a tangy homemade dressing, topped with crispy chips for a delightful crunch.
Tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
Ensure the lettuce is thoroughly washed and dried for a crisp texture.
Slice the avocados into thin wedges and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Use a spoon to scoop out the avocado slices neatly.
Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the salad.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
Combine the red wine vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and minced onion in a jar. Close the lid tightly and shake until well mixed.
Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or acidity to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid overdressing the salad.
Crumble the chips and sprinkle them over the salad for a crunchy topping.
Add the chips just before serving to maintain their crunch.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy!
Garnish with whole chips around the edge of the bowl for a decorative touch.
