Avocado and Grapefruit Salad

A tangy and refreshing grapefruit salad with beautiful color combination. Adapted from Barefoot Contessa.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 medium ripe avocados
• 1 medium red grapefruit

Steps

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.
