Avocado and Grapefruit Salad

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 medium ripe avocados
• 1 medium red grapefruit

Steps

1. Mix the lemon juice, Dijon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Whisk in the olive oil slowly to emulsify the vinaigrette.
2. Halve and pit the avocados, then carefully peel away the skins. From each half, cut 4 thick slices and toss them in the vinaigrette to stop browning.
3. Using a large sharp knife, remove the grapefruit skin and all its white pith. Release the segments by cutting between the membranes.
4. Lay the avocado slices evenly around the rim of a large platter and put the grapefruit segments in the middle. Spoon the vinaigrette over them, then sprinkle with more salt and pepper.
