A light summer salad, with an unusual twist! This was a fun recipe given to me at a friend's dinner party and since I'm always looking for new takes on salads, I snatched it up and added it to my recipes.

Ingredients

  • 2 large heads of boston leaf lettuce
  • 2 large grapefruits, (pink)
  • 2 large avocados
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

How To Make pink grapefruit and avocado salad

  • Step 1
    Arrange individual whole leaves of lettuce as the bottom layer on each salad plate.
  • Step 2
    Peel grapefruits. Slice cross-wise, about 1/3-inch thick. Arrange 2-3 "circles" on top of lettuce.
  • Step 3
    Cut avocados in half and remove pit from each. Carefully scoop avocado out of shell with a thin spoon, trying to keep intact. Slice avocado lengthwise about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange in a "fan" on top layer of salad.
  • Step 4
    Create dressing: In a small bowl, combine vinegar, honey and the lightly crushed raspberries, whisking so that the juice and bits of berries mixes with the dressing.
  • Step 5
    Drizzle dressing over salad and serve!
