I'm allergic to grapefruit, so I used pineapple instead. It was still really good.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover avocado. I always have a few avocados that are about to go bad, so this salad is a lifesaver.

I used a store-bought dressing for this salad, but I think it would be even better with a homemade dressing.

I didn't have any grapefruit on hand, so I used oranges instead. It was still delicious, but I think the grapefruit would have been better.

This salad was a delightful explosion of flavors! The grapefruit and avocado complemented each other perfectly, and the dressing was light and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.
