Ingredients
- 4 cups Mache (lamb's lettuce)
- 2 whole Pink grapefruit
- 1 whole Ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Toasted almonds (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the mache, then set aside.
Step 2
Peel the pink grapefruits by cutting off the top and bottom, then slice away the peel and pith along the sides. Carefully segment the grapefruit by cutting between the membranes, collecting the segments in a bowl. Reserve any juice that collects in the bowl.
Step 3
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin wedges.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, reserved grapefruit juice (about 1 tablespoon), salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 5
In a large serving bowl or platter, arrange the mache as a bed. Evenly distribute the grapefruit segments and avocado slices on top.
Step 6
Drizzle the salad with the prepared dressing and gently toss or leave as-is for a more composed presentation.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle toasted almonds over the salad as a garnish for added crunch and flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors!
