AVOCADO, PINK GRAPEFRUIT AND MACHE SALAD



Avocado, Pink Grapefruit and Mache Salad image

Amounts are suggestions only. You can use lettuce or mixed greens instead of mache. Use pink or ruby grapefruit. As AmandaInOz suggested, I am revising this recipe to include a Dijon dressing. I like Trader Joe's Dijon mustard with white wine.

Categories     Citrus

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoona fruity extra virgin olive oil
4 -6 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 medium pink grapefruit
1 medium avocado, sliced
mache, leaves trimmed
celtic salt

Steps:

  • For the mustard vinaigrette:.
  • In the salad bowl, mix mustard well with oil; add juice and continue to blend until thoroughly blended.
  • For the salad:.
  • Peel, section and de-membrane the grapefruit and place in salad bowl.
  • Add sliced avocado and a few handfuls of mache leaves or greens.
  • Toss gently.
  • Salt to taste.
  • Sometimes I simply halve the grapefruit and scoop out the sections with a grapefruit spoon. This is messier and less attractive than carefully removing all the membranes of each grapefruit section, but it saves a little time.
