Ingredients

Grapefruit salad

2 pink grapefruits
1 ripe avocado
¼ cup almonds, toasted and sliced
¼ cup cilantro leaves, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Lemon honey vinaigrette (dressing)

1 ½ Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ Tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
¼ teaspoon fine salt, plus more to sprinkle before serving
⅙ teaspoon black pepper
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes (to serve, optional)

Instructions

Avocado - Carefully slice the avocado through the middle lengthways, when the blade hits the stone, start to slowly turn the avocado over so that the blade can run around the stone. Cut the fruit into halves, peel and slice them into ½-inch thick slices. Set aside.
Grapefruit: Using a sharp knife, slice off the top and the bottom of each grapefruit. Place the grapefruit on a chopping board, and cut the skin off following the contour of the grapefruit and the white pith. Once the flesh is exposed, cut down between the white membrane to remove all the segments. Set aside.
Make the dressing - In a small bowl or in a glass jar with a lid, mix together or shake all the ingredients until well emulsified.
Assemble - Arrange the grapefruit segments, avocado slices, almonds and chopped cilantro over a serving plate. Drizzle with the dressing, sprinkle with a final touch of salt and chili flakes, if desired. Finish with a few cilantro leaves to garnish. Enjoy at room temperature.
