When Catherine Burack, owner of 'S Marvelous in Toronto, gets a chance to relax, she loves to entertain. Here's her easy dip mixture, full of complex flavours just like her line of make-your-own flavoured vinegars and oils. Colours are vibrant, so you can layer or arrange onion and avocado in strips over the eggs.
Make ahead
Completely assembled, dip will stay fresh, covered and refrigerated, for up to half a day. If making a day before, make egg salad and chop onion. Cover and refrigerate separately. When ready to serve, make avocado mixture. Then layer in a pretty dish according to recipe.
