Greens And Grapefruit Salad Recipes

BITTER GREENS, GRAPEFRUIT, AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Remove peels and piths from grapefruits with a sharp knife. Working over a bowl to catch juices, carefully cut between membranes to remove whole segments. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons grapefruit juice, vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and yogurt. Slowly drizzle in oil, whisking until combined.
• Toss together greens and basil; divide evenly among 4 plates. Top with grapefruit and avocado. Drizzle with vinaigrette, sprinkle with poppy seeds, and serve.

AVOCADO AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• 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.
