2 pounds Spanish or other mild onion, peeled and chopped
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a roasting pan or baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Combine the onions, tomatoes, pepper, garlic, basil, 2 tbsp. vinegar, and olive oil in the prepared pan and roast, uncovered, for about 40 minutes, stirring the mixture occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and colored.
Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. You may make the salad to this point up to a day ahead. Chill until ready to use.
Arrange the greens on a large platter or 6 individual serving plates (I like to use dinner-sized plates). Stir the mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Dice the avocado and toss with the onion and tomato mixture. Spoon this mixture over the center of the greens and drizzle more vinegar if desired over the greens.
