Avocado and Grapefruit Salad With Pomegranates and Pistachios image

It's the tanginess of the grapefruit next to the creaminess of the avocado that makes this combination such a classic, but there's no need to be limited to grapefruit. Give other citrus a try as well. Adapted from Deborah Madison.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small red onion, sliced into thin rounds, about 1/3 cup
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Toss the onion rings with the vinegar and set them aside in the refrigerator.
  • Wash salad mix, spin dry, then wrap in a towel and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Cut the pomegranate into quarters, then break out about 1/2 cup of the seeds. Working in the sink, gently squeeze a tablespoon or so of juice from the remaining pomegranate and set it aside.
  • Peel and section the grapefruits.
  • Neatly peel and thinly slice the kiwi.
  • Peel and cut the avocados into neat chunks.
  • To make the dressing, combine the zest, 1/4 cup tangelo juice plus 1 tablespoon pomegranate juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then whisk in the oil.
  • Loosely arrange the salad greens on a plate with the grapefruit sections (minus their juice).
  • Add the kiwi, avocado, and onions, which will be pickled by now, then pour the dressing over all.
  • Season with pepper and garnish with the pistachio nuts.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my liking, but I think that's because I used a store-bought dressing. I'll try making my own next time.

The avocado and grapefruit in this salad were a bit too tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

This was a delicious and easy salad to make. I used a store-bought dressing, but I think it would be even better with a homemade one.
