There is something truly special about the combination of tart grapefruit and buttery avocado. It feels like a little burst of sunshine on your plate and is one of my favorite ways to brighten up a lunch or a light dinner.

I love serving this salad when I want something that feels healthy but still quite indulgent. My best tip for this recipe is to segment your grapefruit carefully so you only get the juicy fruit without any of the bitter white pith.

🧺 Ingredients

2 large grapefruits, peeled and segmented
2 ripe avocados, sliced
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups fresh mixed greens

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Whisk the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey together in a small bowl until the dressing is smooth.
2
Arrange the mixed greens on a large serving platter or divide them into individual bowls.
3
Top the greens with the grapefruit segments and the sliced avocado.
4
Drizzle the prepared balsamic dressing over the salad just before you are ready to serve.
5
Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top and add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

💡 Tips

Store the dressing in a separate jar if you plan to save some salad for later, as the greens can get wilted once dressed. If you enjoy extra texture, you can add a small handful of pomegranate seeds or feta cheese crumbles.
