Description

Eye catching in color and tangy and refreshing in taste, this avocado and grapefruit salad is the perfect addition to any meal.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium ripe avocados
1 medium red grapefruit

Directions

1 Combine lemon juice, Dijon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil until vinaigrette is emulsified.
2 Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and carefully peel off skin. Cut each half into 4 thick slices. Toss in vinaigrette to prevent them from turning brown.
3 Peel grapefruit skin and all the white pith with a large, sharp knife. Cut between membranes to release the grapefruit segments.
4 Arrange avocado slices evenly around the edge of a large platter, then arrange grapefruit segments in the center. Spoon vinaigrette over top, then sprinkle with more salt and pepper.
