Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pink grapefruits
2 teaspoons champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup low-fat (2 percent) Greek yogurt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 head escarole, coarsely chopped (4 cups)
2 heads Belgian endive, preferably red, leaves separated, and coarsely chopped if large (4 cups)
2 heads frisee, trimmed and torn into bite-size pieces (2 cups)
1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn if large
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
Poppy seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Remove peels and piths from grapefruits with a sharp knife. Working over a bowl to catch juices, carefully cut between membranes to remove whole segments.
