I found some delicious Ruby Red grapefruit the other day and wanted to do something with them other than cut them in half and eat them for breakfast.Ina to the rescue! I just love Ina Garten. Everything she prepares is simple but elegant.
Ina's recipe serves 4-6 people. I used one avocado and one grapefruit for one serving. Peel and section a grapefruit. Peel and cut up an avocado. It's that easy, but of course it's the vinaigrette that makes this so lovely. Put some Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk in olive oil until it's emulsified. Arrange the salad and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
This was very good. The grapefruit sections gave it some texture that was balanced by the smoothness of the avocado and the vinaigrette had just the right tang to bring it all together.
This looks so refreshing and healthy!! Perfect Karen!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I love this flavor combination. When I can find them and if they are not too expensive, I use pomelo to make a salad very similar to yours.
ReplyDeleteI have this book and I've always wanted to make this recipe. Glad it came out well for you!
ReplyDeleteI like the pairing of avocado and grapefruit - great balance of flavors here!
ReplyDeleteI love the color combination and would not have dreamed about putting these two together but it does look good! Love Ina! She comes up with the best things.
ReplyDeleteOh Karen this sounds so good I can't wait to try. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is simple, but brilliant! I have grapefruit in the fruit bowl, I'm going to pick up an avocado and try this tonight! Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteI love Ina, she is most creative. I never would have thought of this combo!
ReplyDeleteHow refreshing and delicious, the vinaigrette is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi! I just found your blog and everything looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love Ina Garten, too. I'll have to try this recipe.
Karen, I so totally agree. Ina rocks! This simple salad concoction of yours sounds absolutely delicious. Grapefruit and avocado sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteLove this salad!
ReplyDeleteyummo! i would be a rebel and do this with avocado and mango. mango's my favorite. and, of course, i'd have to use lime juice instead of lemon. i highly recommend lime with mango..try it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect spring recipe! If I had read this yesterday I might not have asked Matt to make the guacamole. There is always the next avocado though :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so healthy and delicious looking!I'm adding these ingredients to my grocery list.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful match! I love avocados and I'm beginning to develop a taste for grapefruit but I would not have thought to put them together.
ReplyDeleteThey are very good together, I have a friend who makes a salad like this, but with no dressing...I'm going to have to try the dressing.
ReplyDeleteI love both of these fruits.
