Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 sevrings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil
4 ripe Hass avocados
2 large red grapefruits

Steps:

  • Place the mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
  • Before serving, cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the seeds, and carefully peel off the skin. Cut each half into 4 thick slices. Toss the avocado slices in the vinaigrette to prevent them from turning brown. Use a large, sharp knife to slice the peel off the grapefruits (be sure to remove all the white pith), then cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments.
  • Arrange the avocado slices around the edge of a large platter. Arrange the grapefruit segments in the center. Spoon the vinaigrette on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

Blue Cheese-Pecan-Avocado Salad With Honey Mustard Vinaigrette image

This is one of my favorite salads to throw together. The dressing can be used on almost any salad. I never measure when I'm making salad dressings, so the amounts are approximate.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (6 ounce) bag butter lettuce (I like the kind with radicchio in it for color)
1/2 cup pecans, toasted (sometimes I use spicy candied pecans that I get from Trader Joe's)
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
1 avocado, diced
1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey (scant)
black pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Dressing: Whisk together garlic, mustard, honey, and pepper.
  • Whisk in vinegar and then oil.
  • Taste and add more mustard, honey, or other ingredients if necessary to your liking. Set aside.
  • In a salad bowl, combine lettuce, pecans, blue cheese, and avocado.
  • Add dressing and toss to combine.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Make sure your avocados are ripe but not too soft. Ripe avocados will yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for ripe grapes, crisp celery, and fresh herbs.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Overdressing the salad will make it soggy and bland.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the flavors meld together.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The avocados will start to brown if the salad is left out for too long.

Conclusion:

This blue cheese, avocado, and grape salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy avocados, sweet grapes, and tangy blue cheese, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
