Best 4 Pink Grapefruit And Avocado Salad Recipes

PINK-GRAPEFRUIT AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to cut skin (and white pith) from grapefruits; cut into segments, reserving juice.
• Place lettuce in a large bowl with avocado. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons reserved grapefruit juice, olive oil, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper; toss gently. Top with grapefruit segments.

AVOCADO, PAPAYA, AND PINK GRAPEFRUIT SALAD WITH MAPLE DRESSING

Steps:

• Remove peel and pith from the grapefruit using a sharp paring knife. Carefully cut between membranes to remove segments, and place in a medium bowl. Peel the papaya, cut in half, and remove seeds. Slice into pieces about 2 1/2 inches by 1/2 inch thick. Add to the bowl, and toss to combine.
• Slice the avocados lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices and pour the lemon juice over them. Add to the fruit mixture.
• In a small saucepan, warm the maple syrup and lime juice, whisking to combine; set aside to cool.
• Toss the fruits together, and drizzle with the dressing. Serve seasoned with pink pepper, if desired.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT, AVOCADO, AND WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• Dressing:
• First make the dressing. Combine the mustard and sherry vinegar in a bowl and add a pinch each of salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil, followed by the hazelnut oil to emulsify, then set aside.
• Salad:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the nuts on a baking sheet and roast in the middle of the oven for 3 to 4 minutes to warm and release their flavor. Turn into a cloth and rub gently to remove the skins, then roughly chop the nuts.
• For the salad, wash the watercress and gently pat dry. Peel the grapefruit, removing all the pith, then cut out the segments over a large bowl to catch the juice as well as the segments. Halve, pit, and peel the avocado, then cut into slices, similar in size to the grapefruit. Add to the grapefruit with the watercress and toss gently with your fingers to mix.
• If the dressing has separated on standing, give it a whisk, then drizzle half of it over the salad and toss lightly, so you don't break up the avocado or grapefruit. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Arrange the salad on a plate, interleaving the prosciutto slices and romano if using, with the watercress, grapefruit, and avocado. Sprinkle with the minced parsley and drizzle over the remaining dressing. Finally, scatter over the hazelnuts and serve.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT, AVOCADO AND POMEGRANATE SALAD WITH NASTURTIUM FLOWERS

Steps:

• Peel grapefruits with a sharp knife, cutting away all white pith. Cut between membranes into individual segments, and place in a bowl along with any juices. Halve avocados, removing peel and pits. Slice into thin wedges and add to bowl with basil. Cut pomegranate crosswise. Holding a half cut-side down over bowl, hit the back side until all seeds have been released, then repeat with other half. Season with salt to taste, and toss lightly.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, mustard and pomegranate molasses, and season with salt to taste. Toss salad with dressing. Divide among individual plates, sprinkle with sumac and garnish with nasturtium flowers.
