Avocado and Grapefruit Salad

A favorite starter of mine.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 10 mins
Servings: 2
Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  2. 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
  3. ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  4. ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  5. ¼ cup olive oil
  6. 2 medium ripe avocados
  7. 1 medium red grapefruit

Instructions

  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.
