Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 red grapefruits
4 Belgian endive
1 ripe Hass avocado, pitted and peeled
3/4 teaspoon white wine vinegar

1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut peels, including pith, from grapefruit; discard. Working over a bowl to catch any juices, cut segments from membranes, letting them fall into bowl. Squeeze the remaining juice from membranes into bowl.
  • Whisk together vinegar, honey, sour cream, salt, and 3 tablespoons grapefruit juice in a small bowl. Season with pepper. While whisking, add oil in a slow steady stream; whisk until emulsified.
  • Halve endives lengthwise, and core; cut leaves into 1-inch-thick pieces. Toss with three-quarters of the dressing. Cut avocado into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Divide endive and avocado among four plates. Drizzle each serving with one-quarter of the remaining dressing. Divide grapefruit segments among plates.

Tips:

  • Choose the right grapefruit: Select a grapefruit that is heavy for its size and has a smooth, unblemished rind. Avoid grapefruits with soft spots or bruises.
  • Segment the grapefruit: To segment the grapefruit, cut off the top and bottom of the fruit. Score the grapefruit lengthwise, following the natural segments. Then, use a sharp knife to cut between the segments and remove them from the fruit.
  • Use ripe avocado: For the best flavor, use a ripe avocado that is slightly soft to the touch. Avoid avocados that are hard or have brown spots.
  • Dress the salad just before serving: The dressing will wilt the greens if it is added too early. For the best results, dress the salad just before serving.

Conclusion:

This refreshing and flavorful salad is a great way to enjoy the bitter greens, grapefruit, and avocado. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
