Ingredients

Directions

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.

    I made this recipe exactly as written - and was a little leary about drizzling the vinaigrette on the grapefruit, but I did - and it was absolutely delicious. It was a very pretty dish too - and everyone went back for "seconds". If you like grapefruit and avocados, you will love this salad.

    Easy to make, not messy, great starter for guests. Fresh and bright. Pretty pink, pale green, and yellow spring colors. I recommend coating the salad in a bowl and then draining off the extra vinaigrette so one doesn't end up with a greasy pool of sauce.
