Steps:
- Bake or fry the salmon. If you intend to serve the salmon cold, this needs to be done several hours ahead. Meantime, peel and cut the avocado into 1/2 inch cubes. Place in a 1-quart or smaller bowl. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the avocado. Peel and remove the membrane of the grapefruit. Break the segments into thirds. Place it in the bowl along with all juices. Add 1/2 cup oil and gently fold together. Salt and pepper to taste. Wash and thoroughly dry the greens. Divide them among dinner plates, as per number of desired servings. Place a portion of the salmon on top of each pile of greens. Divide the avocado-grapefruit salsa over all.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest ingredients: Use ripe grapefruit, baby spinach, and crunchy almonds for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a variety of grapefruit: Experiment with different types of grapefruit, such as ruby red or pink grapefruit, to add a range of flavors to your salad.
- Add other fruits or vegetables: Feel free to customize your salad by adding other fruits, such as oranges or berries, or vegetables, such as avocado or bell pepper.
- Make your own dressing: The homemade honey-balsamic dressing is a great way to add flavor and tang to your salad. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to choose one that is light and flavorful.
- Serve immediately: Grapefruit and spinach salad is best when served immediately, as the grapefruit segments and spinach will start to wilt over time.
