This recipe has been around for ages or at least from when I was a kid. I love the combination of grapefruit and avocado – be sure to get an avocado that is just ripe, too mushy on this salad and the whole thing kind or goes south.
Ingredients
Butter Lettuce, 1 Head – torn in edible pieces
Ruby Grapefruit, 2 – fruit gems removed, juiced
Avocado, 2 – Sliced in ¼ “ wedges
Pepitas, ~ 3 Tbsps.
Feta, 4 Tbsps. Crumbled
Please buy organic whenever possible!
Preparation
This is a plated salad as it really doesn’t work as well served family style. But it is not a royal pain to plate, like some more complex salads. On each plate, pile up a good handful and a half of torn pieces of butter lettuce. Top with 6-7 gems of grapefruit, 4-5 wedges of avocado, a sprinkling of pepitas, and a good tablespoon of crumbled feta. Drizzle each salad with dressing and serve!
** With plated salads, it is a nice touch to refrigerate the plates ahead of time. Also, this is a good salad to go up a notch or two on the higher quality feta cheese – you will be happy you did!
