Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice (2 lemons)
2 avocados, preferably Hass, halved lengthwise and pitted
2 red grapefruit
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Brush 2 teaspoons lemon juice over flesh of avocados; set aside.
