Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe avocados
1 large grapefruit (red or pink)
4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach)
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients – Start by selecting ripe avocados; they should yield slightly to gentle pressure. For the grapefruit, ensure it’s firm yet juicy.
Step 2: Cut and Slice – Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh using a spoon and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Segment the grapefruit by slicing off the top and bottom, then carefully cutting along the membrane to release each grapefruit piece.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad – In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, avocado chunks, grapefruit segments, and sliced red onion. Make sure everything is evenly distributed for the best flavor in each bite.
Step 4: Make the Dressing – In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and black pepper. Adjust to taste, balancing the sweetness with the tartness of the grapefruit.
Step 5: Dress and Toss – Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together. Be careful not to mash the avocado—aim for a delicate mix.
Step 6: Serve Immediately – Your Avocado Grapefruit Salad is ready to be enjoyed! For an extra touch, consider garnishing with additional grapefruit zest or toasted nuts.
