1. Prepare the pink grapefruit by slicing off the top and bottom. Stand it upright on a cutting board and slice down the sides to remove the peel and pith. Hold the grapefruit over a bowl to catch the juice, then carefully cut out the segments between the membranes. Set the segments aside and reserve the juice for the dressing.
2. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin wedges.
3. Arrange the mixed salad greens on two serving plates. Distribute the avocado slices, pink grapefruit segments, and cooked prawns evenly over the greens.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, reserved grapefruit juice (about 1 tablespoon), honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, ensuring everything is lightly coated.
6. Optionally, garnish with fresh dill for added flavor and presentation.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant Avocado Prawn and Pink Grapefruit Salad!
