This grapefruit salad is one of my favorite ways to brighten up a lunch or a light dinner. The combination of juicy citrus, rich avocado, and crunchy almonds creates a wonderful mix of textures that everyone at my table seems to love.

I find that the secret to this recipe is letting the dressing sit for a few minutes before tossing everything together. It really helps the flavors soak into the greens and fruit for a perfectly balanced bite.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the dressing.

  2. 2

    Place the mixed salad greens in a large serving bowl.

  3. 3

    Gently arrange the grapefruit segments and avocado slices on top of the greens.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad just before serving.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top to add a nice crunch.

💡 Tips

If you are preparing this in advance, keep the avocado sliced and stored in a little lemon juice to prevent browning. You can add feta cheese if you want a salty kick, or store leftovers in the fridge for up to one day without the dressing.
