A refreshing salad featuring juicy grapefruit, creamy avocado, peppery arugula, and crunchy toasted pistachios, perfect for spring gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ruby red grapefruits, peeled and segmented
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 4 cups fresh arugula
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup microgreens
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Using a sharp knife, slice off the top and bottom of each grapefruit. Remove the peel and white pith by cutting from top to bottom. Hold the grapefruit over a bowl and cut between membranes to release segments. Reserve the juice.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and reserved grapefruit juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh and slice into even 1/4 inch pieces.
  4. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pistachios and toast for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
  5. On a serving platter, create a bed of arugula. Arrange the grapefruit segments and avocado slices alternately over the arugula.
  6. Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the salad and serve immediately for the best taste and presentation.

Notes

Pair with grilled shrimp or chicken for a light meal. Store components separately to maintain freshness.
